The last weekend of May, Memorial Day Weekend, has become an unofficial start to the Summer Season at Bass Lake. If you are seeking a quiet, laid-back retreat, make sure to make your reservations earlier in the month. After that, the excitement of Summer is officially here!
In May, visitors can enjoy pleasant temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s. It’s the perfect weather for enjoying local hikes, fishing, or just taking a cruise around the lake. It is also a great time to visit Yosemite before the crowds of summer arrive. And, with this year’s incredible snow-pack, you will have a chance to continue enjoying the waterfalls.
When in May is the best time to visit? It’s up to you! We have an awesome array of events coming up this month. Join us multiple weekends to enjoy all of them or come during the week to “feel like a local” and enjoy a little peace.
