Leavitt Lake
 | I spent many a fishing trip at Leavitt Lake. Once everyone got over altitude sickness the fishing was great. Water and the sky clear and blue. Walked in one late winter. It was a challange but worth the adventure. The kids never failed to catch limits and we all enjoyed sharing with the few people who ventured up the hill to fish. Even saw a bear or two off and on. I will have to dig out some pictures and post them.......d a good time, too. Plenty of shoreline access everywhere, and a trail that encircles the lake. When we get back up there, hopefully soon, we hope to either try a small boat or float tubes. Boat wise I would stick with a non powered vessel such as a canoe, or lightweight car topper. No launching, by hand only. Absolutely gorgeous country. Don't forget to pack the camera. Pacific Crest Trail access nearby, so plenty of hiking available. Didn't see any bears or much wildlife to speak of...nice & quiet & pristine. A real getaway from it all. I haven't yet, but hope to do eventual hikes to surrounding areas. Should have access & prime vistas of the Emigrant Wilderness back country via the PCT on the western edge of the crest. Call ahead to the Bridgeport Ranger Station to make sure the road in is open. With all the snow we had this past season the latest I heard would be late July at the earliest. About a 3+ mile ride in from Hwy. 108. Take your time, plenty of ruts in the road. I have pictures if this site would like to accomodate such. My email address for... |
Dorothy Lake
| To get to Dorothy Lake in the north part of Yosemite is a HIKE… Would take a good long day to get there, if I started before sunrise and Leavitt trail head on Sonora Pass (108).... |
High Emigrant Lake
| 1 PHOTO I went and was swarmed by literally thousands of mosquitoes.... High Emigrant Lake and the surrounding area is the most beautiful place I believe I have ever visited. I went in late July and there were still snow patches on the mountains. I swam in the lake and it was FREEZING, but refreshing as we stopped by the lake on day 3 out of 7 on our backpacking trip. It is difficult to get to this lake, but it is worth it. I will go back one day. I would live there if I could. The surrounding lakes are nice too. Its a very calming atmosphere on a nice day and there are basically no mosquitoes which is a BIG plus! It is a beautiful place. Go there!... |

Doc and Al's Robinson Creek Resort
| 15 miles away My family and I have been going to Doc and Al's for the past 18 years and love it! You'll find stories like this of families coming back the same week every year for decades is not uncommon here. It's a great place for young and old, couples and families. If you're looking for a nice place to relax and enjoy the outdoors, this is definitely the place! I grew up with vacations along Robinson Creek and on the shores of Twin Lakes, and I plan on taking my kids someday. If you're considering a trip up here, I definitely recommend it!... |

We plan on next year making it to the lake and setting up camp.... |
Clark Fork Campground
| 19 miles away The Clark Fork Campground has a number of nice sites. Most of the campers have trailers or RVs. The campground has pit toilets that are clean and relatively pleasant. There is a shower facility--bring plenty of quarters for your shower. The fishing in the Clark Fork River is good. The Forest Service plants trout every week. There are plenty of nice side creeks such as Cloudburst and Arnot that are good fishing too. The hike up the trail along the upper Clark Fork to the waterfall is a very nice hike. You will enjoy Clark Fork campground. My family for three generations and over 50 years has been camping here.... |
