Hume Lake Recreation Area

When it was dammed in 1908, this 87-acre artificial lake powered a huge log flume that whisked sequoias harvested in Converse Basin to a mill more than 70 miles away. Today it's a popular USFS campground, and sandy coves and beaches line the lakeshore. Restrooms are available in the parking area.
