Lakes are great; Francis Lake is a lake that's in the neighborhood of Buck Lake, and going for a hike on the Sherwin Lakes Trail is always a good adventure. Be careful coming to the Central Sierra Nevada, you might not ever wanna return home again. A splendid site for whitewater paddling next to Buck Lake is San Joaquin River - South Fork. Yeah, come up here to the Central Sierra Nevada for a good time. If you need a location to stay Mammoth Lakes Travelodge

Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this place. At Buck Lake you can spot Broken Finger Peak, and Mono Creek is a glorious whitewater spot close by. Mammoth Mountain is a very popular ski area close by, and if time allows, Devils Postpile National Monument is a national | |

park worth checking out. Through the warm months highs here at Buck Lake reach the 70's. All through the moonlight hours it's frequently in the 40's. Through the winter the highs are frequently in the 40's; after the sun is down
all through the wintertime temperatures at Buck Lake drop into the 20's. This lake is so wonderful. You're probably into lakes, Tamarack Lakes is one of those close by. You'll need more than a day to discover everything Buck Lake

 | 11 miles away I have never seen it in the 90's in summer (way to high for those temps), and I am sure it is a heck of lot colder than 50's in the winter... |
Big Trees Campground
 | 12 miles away The only way to drop a kayak in Kings river is a very long drive (maybe 4-5 hours) to the west side or the range, or lugging it through the wilderness (over the spine). I think I would have to give a gold medal to anyone who would lug a kayak from Big Trees to Kings river. Just a heads-up.... |
Sabrina Campground
 | 12 miles away I have such fond memories of family trips to Sabrina and camping just up from the lake on the stream side. Don't know what the campground name was or even if it had a name back in thoes days. It was every summer in 1960's. First went there when I was a baby. My parents packed back in several times. Anyway, my Dad died a few months ago and he always said he wanted to go back before he died. I like to think that he is there somewhere fishing that stream by the campground that we all loved so much. Fond Fond memories.... |

Jackass's Meadows Campground
 | 19 miles away I've been to the campground and it is a great area; however, it is NOT an arid environment as the description says.? It is located at over 7000 feet in a forested area.? In addition, there is NO access to Devils Postpile (or the Mammoth area, as is implied by the lodging links). The campground is located at the end of the road and there is no road pass over the Sierra anywhere in this area. This campground is seasonal and is snowed in completely in the winter. ... |
