North Lake

North Lake is a beautiful alpine lake situated high above Bishop at 9,500 feet along the North Fork of Bishop Creek. Surrounded by Aspen groves, Lodgepole pines, and Jeffrey pines, the lake offers a serene and picturesque setting any time of the year.

You might already be familiar with North Lake without ever visiting. If you use an Apple Mac computer with the “High Sierra” operating system, you’ll see a wallpaper from North Lake.

Though the lake is beautiful throughout the year, fall is a special time to visit. During this season, the trees surrounding North Lake transform, with many taking on a golden hue. The lake’s waters beautifully mirror these vibrant colors.

While there are no campgrounds directly on the lake, North Lake Campground is conveniently located just to the west of the lake. Other nearby campgrounds include Sabrina Campground, Bishop Park Campground, Intake 2 Campground, and Forks Campground.
