Lewis Creek Hike

 Between Fish Camp and Oakhurst runs Lewis Creek Trail.  This is a great trail  full of amazing sights and great scenery.  If you enjoy small waterfalls, this trail is for you. This trail is half way between Oakhurst and Yosemite, at about 7 miles from each. To get there, head north on Hwy 41.  About 7 miles past Oakhurst you’ll see a sign for the Lewis Creek  Trail, there is parking area for about a dozen cars.  Follow the sign and  Hit the trail and you’ll soon come to a fork. Turn right and you’ll head .3 miles to Corlieu Falls. Turn left and you’ll head 1.5 miles to Red Rock Falls. Corliue Falls is one of the tallest in Madera County and offers the more impressive views of the two falls. The trail itself will lead you to the top of the waterfall, where you can look down to watch it cascade. If you’re willing to scramble down some rocks you can see a nice view of the fall along with the nice pool that it flows into. Head back down the trail and continue to Red Rock Falls. The trail splits a few times, stay to the left.  From time to time you can hear cars drive by, as the trail runs parallel to the highway 41. Once you reach Red Rock Falls waterfall. Not  the most impressive, but it’s pleasant. It will be a great spot to pull out your lunch and enjoy it creekside.
