     Summit Lake is one of the lakes here in the Central Sierra Nevada. If you're here, you might as well stop by Agnew Pass, and it's a nice idea to go to Crest Creek. So many entertaining things to do here in the Central Sierra Nevada, too glorious to be true. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Summit Lake has to offer, you can camp at Grant Lake Marina-campground, and don't leave Summit Lake without first going for a hike along the John Muir Trail  
   - section 2.
All year is a wonderful time in the Central Sierra Nevada if you love the outdoors. Lakes are great; Clark Lakes is a lake that's near Summit Lake; if you need a place to stay Mammoth Mountain Inn is a pleasant choice. At Summit Lake during the months of summer highs are in the 90's. When the night sets in temperatures fall down into the 50's. Through the winter highs are usually in the 40's with winter lows in the 20's overnight here at Summit
 
               Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Stay the night at Trailer Park Campground; a glorious panorama of pretty Carson Peak is available.
Summit Lake is a good place of typical rain; most of the rain falls through January, and June meanwhile is the driest month. This lake is so wonderful. Not far from Summit Lake, you'll stumble on Badger Lakes which is a stunning lake, and the Gaylor Lakes Trail offers hiking at its best. Gotta ski! June Mountain is a great place to do that, and dry warm beds await you at Heidelberg Inn.
If you have a thing about the outdoors, you'll fancy Summit Lake. Do set aside some time for Spooky Meadow while you're here at Summit Lake, and there's wonderful hiking along the Mammoth Rock Trail. Glide down the rapids of San Joaquin River - Middle Fork in a kayak, and what would winter be without some skiing at Mammoth Mountain. So many enjoyable things to do here at Summit Lake, too great to be true.
