Lewis Creek 4.0 mi/ 2.5 hrs
There are three trailheads that access the Lewis Creek Trail, but the best place to start is at the trail’s midpoint just off Highway 41 about 5 miles north of Oakhurst. From this roadside trailhead you can either take a 15 minute, half mile walk south to a wooden viewing deck for the 50 foot cascading waterfall that is Corlieu Falls. It is a little bit steep coming back up. Or you can cross the creek and head upstream two miles to see the smaller Red Rock Fall. I would say the hike itself is the star of this trail as it is a gorgeous walk along the flower-lined Lewis Creek that is shaded by a canopy of oaks, ponderosa pines, sugar pines, and incense cedars. You can also catch the dogwoods blooming beautifully in May.
Willow Creek 4.8 mi/ 2.5 hrs
You must be wary of the slippery granite all along this creek. Nice swimming holes at the start of this trail below Angel Falls easily accessed on the west side of the creek. This is only advisable during a slower flowing Willow Creek. The Forest Service does request that people don’t swim upstream of Angel Falls because the creek is used as a domestic water supply for the Bass Lake community. To hike the entire trail you want to start on the east side the the stream to continue past Angel Falls. At 2.4 miles from the trailhead you reach a junction where you can go left to see Devils slide. Devils Slide is a series of rounded indentations carved in the rock that is better to be viewed from the safety of the trail. From here the main trail continues to its end at McLeod Flat Road/camp where the trail ends. Retrace your steps back down the hill with the occasional view of beautiful Bass Lake.
Way of the Mono Trail 0.5 mi/0.5 hr
A short 0.5 mile loop
