Sequoia National Forest is named for the Giant sequoia, the world's largest tree, which grows in more than 30 groves on the forest's lower slopes. The forest comprises about 1.1 million acres. Elevations range from about 1,000 to 12,000 feet, creating precipitous canyons and mountain streams with spectacular waterfalls such as Salmon Creek Falls and Grizzly Falls. The campground is 3 miles south of Hume Lake at an elevation of 5,600 feet. The lake was built to support a one-time commercial logging operation, and sits in the Kings River Watershed, a region of the Sierra Nevada mountains replete with vast stands of timber.
Recreation: Hume Lake is a popular recreation destination where visitors can enjoy fishing, non-motorized boating, hiking, mountain biking and off-road exploring. A family-friendly trail loops around the lake, offering a 2.6-mile path with interpretive signs and benches along the way.
Nearby: Visitors enjoy making day trips to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park, Giant Sequoia National Monument.
