Bass Lake (Point Reyes) Details
This hidden oasis in the Point Reyes National Seashore is the perfect backdrop for a warm summer day. It is the largest of the five Coast Trail Lakes and offers 7.4-acres of crystal-clear waters. And the fact that it is only accessible via a 3-mile hike on the Coast Trail makes it more secluded than other lakes in the area. Besides swimming and swinging off the rope swing, this lake also attracts hikers and campers (the Mount Tam campsite is just a short drive away).
