    If you like lakes and you're in this part of California you can check out Steelhead Lake. Going for a hike on the Sherwin Lakes Trail is always a great adventure. This lake is located in the wonderful Central Sierra Nevada. Life's too short to enjoy all the exciting things in the Central Sierra Nevada. Devils Postpile National Monument is a glorious national park; probably you're looking for nearby lakes? Sure, Grass Lake is just a very short distance away.
 
   Steelhead Lake is pretty dry generally; of all the months in a year January is the one with the most rain, and June on the other hand is the driest. This lake is so wonderful. A wonderful close by hotel is Mammoth Creek Inn, and a brilliant site for whitewater paddling is San Joaquin River - South Fork. For the duration of the summertime months here at Steelhead Lake, high temperatures commonly reach the 70's. Throughout the moonlight hours it's commonly in  
               the 40's. During the winter highs are regularly in the 40's, and night lows during the winter for Steelhead Lake tend to be in the 20's.
This lake is so wonderful. Head up to Mammoth Mountain and strap some skis to your feet, and Rodeway Inn Sierra Nevada is a good spot to get some rest. So many fun things in the Central Sierra Nevada, just extraordinary. There's so much to do here at Steelhead Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Lake Crowley Campground is a fine place for that; Mount Crocker is a peak you can see from Steelhead Lake. Go for a hike on the Mammoth Rock Trail, and you're perhaps addicted to lakes, Golden Lake is one of those nearby.
You can run the rapids of Mono Creek in close proximity to Steelhead Lake. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Steelhead Lake has to offer, you can camp at Upper McGee Creek Campground. What a place this is for outdoors people. Pioneer Basin is a beautiful place any time of year; the snow is good at June Mountain.

Jackass's Meadows Campground
16 miles away
I've been to the campground and it is a great area; however, it is NOT an arid environment as the description says.? It is located at over 7000 feet in a forested area.? In addition, there is NO access to Devils Postpile (or the Mammoth area, as is implied by the lodging links). The campground is located at the end of the road and there is no road pass over the Sierra anywhere in this area. This campground is seasonal and is snowed in completely in the winter. ...

Sierra Summit is located in the Sierra National Forest, just 65 miles northeast of Fresno at Huntington Lake. The resort offers over 1600 feet of vertical serviced by seven chairlifts and 4 surface lifts with terrain to suit all ability levels. There is slopeside lodging at the Sierra Summit Inn with a full service rental and repair shop, sports shop and snowsports school. Sierra Summit has invested heavily in snow making allowing us to offer consistent snow coverage on most runs all winter long. Our snowmaking also allows for an earlier season opening as well as allowing skiing and riding well into April during most seasons. The resort continues to provide the best winter experience at a tremendous value with money-saving options such as the Stay and Play lodging special, $20 high school Sundays, a Learn to Ski and Snowboard Guarantee and a spring season pass special.
