Truly glorious swimming hole - one of the jewels of the area in the summer. also try Purdon or Edwards crossing for great hiking along the river. Granite boulders, crystal clear water that's warm to swim after July 1. A "must go" when you are in the area

The hike to island lake is a great day trip. about an hour from the house by car, it is an easy 1 hour hike through relatively flat Sierra terrain. You pass by several other lakes to get here, and once you do you can lounge or swim (water reliably comfortable in August/Sept). You can also extend the hike further to more lakes in the Bowman Lakes region

A day at the river is an activity that almost everyone thinks of as a highlight of their stay. Granite boulders, clean air, amazing swimming holes. Best swimming begins in mid july and goes till mid September. Bridgeport, Hoyt, and Edwards crossing are easy places to get to on paved roads. Purdon crossing best with 4 wheel vehicle. Can't miss!
