This is a great lake in the Sierra foothills outside Fresno. It's a good windsurfing lake on stormy days although it gets very gusty. The best place to launch is on the east side of the lake. But if you're not windsurfing the west side is a lot nicer and less crowded with lots of big rocks and small scattered beaches. There's a small waterfall on the west side as well just a very short hike up the hill. Camping is on the west side as well.... |

I agree that Millerton is a wonderful place but the ''summer temps'' are typically close to a hundred. Not 80, so be prepared and I wouldn't say it ''gets lots of rain.''...madera side camp ground by boat launch... |
