     Loch Leven is pretty dried up frequently; the month of January is the wettest with most of the rain while June is usually the driest month. A brilliant place for whitewater paddling in the neighborhood of Loch Leven is Kings River - Middle Fork, and don't miss out on a journey to Devils Postpile National Monument since you're here. This lake is so wonderful. Loch Leven is not the only spot close by, Wonder Lakes is a close by lake.
This lake is so wonderful.
 
   San Joaquin River - South Fork is a nice whitewater spot near Loch Leven, and if you came for an overnight stay North Lake Campground is a wonderful spot to camp. All through the summer at Loch Leven highs are ordinarily in the 90's. During the dark hours of summer temperatures sink down into the 50's. The wintertime comes with highs in the 50's, and overnight lows in the 20's for Loch Leven. Just can't get enough of Loch Leven. If you need a location to stay  
               Super 8 Bishop is a brilliant choice, and if you get bored of Loch Leven you could also visit close by Emerson Lake.
While you're here at Loch Leven you can take a hike along the Kings River Trail, and Sabrina Campground is a splendid local campground.

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....

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....
