     There are other sites here than Horton Lake, for example Longley Lake, and Days Inn Bishop is a nice place to get some rest. Just can't get enough of the Central Sierra Nevada. Drift down the rapids of Kings River - Middle Fork in a kayak; you can stay the night at North Lake Campground. You just can't envision the amount of outdoors enjoyable stuff the area near Horton Lake has to offer. You'll need more than a day to discover everything Horton Lake has to  
   offer, you can camp at Intake Campground; hiking along the Kings River Trail is good fun.
Summertime at Horton Lake arrives with high temperatures in the 90's. Once the sun is down it sinks down to the 50's. During the wintertime the highs are frequently in the 50's; after the sun is down all through the wintertime temperatures at Horton Lake drop into the 20's. Lakes? Sure, Upper Horton Lakes is nearby; you obtain a splendid vista of Basin Mountain from here.
 
               This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike along the John Muir Trail - Pacific Crest Section will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region, and Devils Postpile National Monument is a splendid site nearby.
Horton Lake is a beautiful lake in the Central Sierra Nevada. This lake is so wonderful. Get soaked paddling on San Joaquin River - South Fork. It is very dried out here at Horton Lake commonly; through the month of January you get the most rain around here while June is regularly the driest month.
And that's not all there is to do here in the Central Sierra Nevada. Mammoth Mountain is a pleasant local ski area, and dry warm beds await you at Super 8 Bishop.

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....

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....
