I love being on boats and Bass Lake is such a perfect place to spend time on
the water whether you're traveling with your
family like I am or you're rolling solo if you want to know
what to do where to stay where to eat all those details of Bass Lake
stay tuned
so beautiful on the lake right it was as much fun as it looks i had a really
great time and i'm super excited to share with you
all my travel tips for coming to bass lake if you're new here welcome i'm
Christine with Where in the World is cL and i make travel videos every week to
help you get up get out and go travel so consider
hitting that subscribe button let's start with when to go it's
sunny and beautiful in july 2020 we had 90 degree weather with
80 degree water temperature but you can see in this little handy dandy graph
that it actually snows in the winter and can hit some pretty low lows
so consider the type of trip that you want and hit those summer months if you
want to be on the lake and be in the water
let's talk about what there is to do it's called bass lake because there's
bass in the lake so we brought fishing poles got our fishing permits
and threw our pools in with some worms and we didn't catch anything but it was
still a great time but if you want to get on the water
there is only three places or so to rent boats from so we rented a
pontoon from bass lake boat rentals and we had a great half day on the lake
don't forget to bring your floaties and it came with a barbecue so we made
our lunch on the boat which was an awesome time but there's also rentals
for stand-up paddle there's kayaking etc so
choose what you want to do to get on the water there's also plenty to do
off of the water there's beautiful hikes in the area whether you choose to do the
one that's right on the lake see the info in
the description or if you decide to go 10 to 15 minutes ish north there's red
rocks falls which is another really beautiful out and back
four mile hike that's outside of the yosemite park so you
don't need a permit for that one but yosemite really is just 25 minutes
away from here and the closest hike for that is the
mariposa sequoia grove which is beautiful so stay tuned for that video
as well
tell me in the comments below what your preference is are you more of a boater
or you more of a hiker i'd love to know and if you're getting some value out of
this CHEERS that like button all right let's talk about where to stay
obviously you can camp around the lake but there's also
cabins like the pines resort is there and there's also an rv park that's
nearby i chose to stay in oakhurst which is the
closest city which is about a 10 to 15 minute drive from bass lake at
this not so luxurious airbnb it's just all
right but there's plenty of vrbo and airbnb options in the area so
consider staying in oakhurst as well let's talk about where to eat if you're
in oakhurst there's plenty of grocery stores here so you can buy your
groceries and bring it in because there's a lot of picnic areas
around the lake that have grills which is really nice
or you can do what i did which is rent a pontoon that has a grill on it
but there are a couple restaurants around the lake so see the info in the
description below for that a couple other helpful tips service is
kind of spotty so make sure you download your google maps before you go there
and just know that you're not going to get that great of service also
there's a rope swing so check the info in the description for
where to find that and i'm here every week with new travel videos i'm headed
up to yosemite today to go hiking so i'll see you in the next
adventure ciao
