also go to charming Lady Lake. And that's not all there is to do here in the Central Sierra Nevada. Upper Chiquito Campground is a fine local campground; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend
Merced River - South Fork. This lake is so wonderful. Go for a hike on the Clouds Rest Trail, and there are some delightful whitewater spots on San Joaquin River - Middle Fork. After a long day outdoors Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite is
a great place to spend a night or two. Do pay a visit to Yosemite National Park while you're here at Burro Lake; why not camp at Bowler Group Campground if you're here at Burro Lake. So many exciting things in the Central Sierra
