Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Bass Lake is the closest recreational lake to Yosemite, home to hidden waterfalls, mind-boggling cliffs of granite and giant Sequoias. Bass Lake, a Gold-Crown resort, combines close proximity to Yosemite with water skiing, fishing and horseback riding at the lake to make sure there is plenty to do. All condos are non-smoking and there are absolutely no pets allowed on the premises.
