Thank you for your interest in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and USACE Lake Kaweah. The U.S. government is currently experiencing a partial shutdown.
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park gates are open but services are limited. Seasonal campgrounds, trails and roads are open. Visitor centers are closed. Conditions and services are subject to change. See local postings.
See https://www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/winter_driving.htm for winter advisories.
USACE Lake Kaweah has received all of its funding for the year. The lake and lake visitor center are open to the public. This is a great time of year to birdwatch, kayak, photograph, fish, walk dogs, or simply sit on a boulder to watch the Kaweah River flow. The lake store is a treasure trove of history, books, plush toys, field guides, and more. You can even buy an annual America the Beautiful park pass.
For safety reasons, Pear Lake Winter Hut is closed during the shutdown. We understand that a trip to Pear Lake Winter Hut is significant, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
As always, the parks appreciate your support. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution as a tangible endorsement of Sequoia Parks Conservancy’s mission.
We hope that your 2019 plans include a visit to your favorite public lands!
