Bass Lake Information and Maps
and
Information about Eastern Madera County
Surrounded by the tall pine and cedar trees of the Sierra National
Forest in Eastern Madera county, one of the most popular
vacation spots in central California, Bass Lake, has become a favorite spot
for boaters, water-skiers, swimmers and fisherman, as they appreciate the
lake’s warm water. The water temperature of the lake reaches 72 to 80
degrees during the summer. Fishermen enjoy the relatively good fishing the
lake has to offer. The lake is stocked every year by the Department of Fish
& Game. There are several types of trout, bass, kokanee, catfish, crappie
and bluegill.
The surrounding area offers a myriad of things to do. Located just minutes
from the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park, you can take a day
trip to view the Mariposa Grove of Big trees located just inside the park,
or take a ride down into Yosemite Valley for a wonderful day of sightseeing.
Along Hwy 41 heading towards Yosemite is the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine
Railroad. Take an enjoyable ride on an authentic logging steam engine ( for
more info go to Things To Do)
There are numerous activities in the area to enjoy in addition to the water
activities... There are hiking and mountain bike trails, there are three
golf courses located in the nearby area, there is the new Chukchansi Gold
Casino in Coarsegold, the Mono Indian Museum in North Fork, the Sierra
Scenic Byway and horseback riding in Fish Camp.
