When it was originally dammed in 1908, this 87-acre artificial lake powered a huge log flume that whisked sequoias harvested in Converse Basin to a mill more than 70 miles away. Today, a popular USFS campground and sandy coves and beaches line the lakeshore. Privately operated Hume Lake Christian Camps runs a snack bar for burgers and milkshakes, a small market for groceries and camping sundries, gas pumps (available 24 hours with credit cards) and beachside canoe and boat rentals.
