Blackrock Lake Access

Blackrock Lake Access provides entry to a remote mid-Sierra reservoir at 4,000 feet elevation near Kings Canyon National Park, accessible via a challenging narrow, steep paved road (Forest Road #11S12) that requires daytime driving due to dangerous conditions and one-lane wooden bridges.

The small 10-site campground offers vault toilets and picnic tables on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees, though the difficult access road is often gated due to snow, mud, or landslides—call ahead to the Sierra National Forest ranger station before visiting.

This secluded location is best visited May-October and serves as a gateway to higher elevation lakes and streams via primitive forest roads.
