Visited on 8/30/2018, Jeff and I loaded up the truck camper and the kayak on the Jeep and headed up to Lake Basin Recreation Area to hike and visit several of the Lakes Basin area natural subalpine lakes. We, of course had our water-loving chocolate Labradors, Summer and Skye with us for a wonderful weekend of camping, hiking and kayaking for my birthday. We decided to take the 2.3 mile Bear Lake to Long Lake trail hike. We visited Big Bear Lake, Little Bear Lake and Cub Lake and Long Lake. The first lake after about 1/2 mile of hiking we came upon Big Bear Lake. This lake is one of the smaller lake in the region at 25 acres, and is a glacial lake located in this gorgeous Lakes Basin Recreation Area. Big Bear Lake is at an elevation of 6,475 feet above sea level in the Plumas National Forest. There are over 20 small glacial formed subalpine lakes in this area of the Sierra Mountains. This lake was in a gorgeous setting and we hiking around to the east side of the lake for a better viewing of the entire lake. The dogs retrieving sticks from the crystal clear waters. We will definitely be back in this area in the future for wonderful camping adventures.
