Sparkling blue waters contrasted by towering pine trees...that's the first thing you see as you come to Bass Lake, named one of the "West's Best Lakes" by Sunset Magazine.
Bass Lake is more than just a beautiful retreat, as it holds a treasure trove of recreational opportunities. Bass Lake is known for it's excellent fishing for large mouth bass, rainbow trout and kokanee as well as panfish like blue gill and crappie. You can explore beautiful hiking trails that offer stunning views of Bass Lake as well as the surrounding Sierra National Forest, enjoy the cool waters on a personal watercraft or test your skills water skiing or wakeboarding.
Many peo
ple come to Bass Lake for the special events. Wakeboard competitions, boat shows, fishing tournaments and more bring in numerous people who enjoy getting away from it all without having to be miles away from civilization. Of course one of the biggest events is the annual fireworks display on Independence Day. The July 4th fireworks at Bass Lake are an amazing scene, as
the colors light up the sky and are reflected in the waters below.
One of the best aspects of a Bass Lake Vacation is everything you could ever need is right on shore. Restaurants, shopping, lodging ranging from a full service resort to vacation rental homes, cabins and camping, are all moments from the water's edge so you never have to leave the lake.
Bass Lake isn't just popular with vacationers, but with wildlife as well. The most popular residents, however, may be the lake's pair of Bald Eagles. These majestic creatures are commonly sought after by photographers, bird watchers and anyone else who enjoys seeing this iconic bird of prey.
Behind only Yosemite, Bass Lake is Madera County's most popular attraction. When you come here, you'll understand why.
