Saddlebag Day Use Site
Just east of Yosemite National Park, Saddlebag Lake is popular for day hikes, fishing and backpacking. A loop trail goes around the lake for fishing and hiking. Trails extend into what is commonly called the 20 Lakes Basin. Camping around Saddlebag Lake is limited to the campground near the resort.
There is also a water taxi from the marina at the Saddlebag Lake Resort that goes to the far end of the lake. Check with the resort to see operating season.
