Hume Lake

Located in the Sequoia National Forest at an elevation of 5,200 feet, Hume Lake is an 85-acre man-made lake. It’s great place to camp, hike and fish. And because motorized boats are not allowed on the lake, it is a nice destination for canoeing or kayaking.

From Ten Mile Creek Road, turn into the Sandy Beach area and continue to the end, near the dam, for easy canoe or kayak launching and parking.
