About Bass Lake
Bass Lake is a census-designated place (CDP) in Madera County, California, United States, within the Sierra National Forest. The community surrounds Bass Lake, a reservoir on Willow Creek approximately 14 miles (23 km) south of the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park. As of the 2020 census, the CDP had a population of 575.
The area was historically inhabited by the Mono people and later developed around logging and hydroelectric power. During the 20th century, Bass Lake became a recreational and seasonal residential community, with resorts, campgrounds, boating, and other outdoor recreation centered on the reservoir. The area was also the site of annual Hells Angels gatherings beginning in the 1960s and has been used as a filming location for motion pictures including Leave Her to Heaven and The Great Outdoors.
