This lake is located in the wonderful Central Sierra Nevada. So much fun stuff to do here in the Central Sierra Nevada, too glorious to be true. Getting to Darwin Creek from Donkey Lake is trouble-free; if you came for an overnight stay Sabrina Campground is a tremendous place to camp. This lake is so wonderful. Why not take a refreshing hike along the John Muir Trail - Pacific Crest Section, and if you've had enough of Donkey Lake, Baboon Lakes is close by.

Sabrina Campground
 | 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.... |
North Lake Campground
 | 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
 | 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.... |
