CALIFORNIA HIKER Willow Creek Trail and the Merced Hikers Yosemite Willow Creek Trail near Bass Lake Willow Creek empties into Bass Lake. Bass Lake is located between Oakhurst on HWY 41 and Yosemite NP. A pleasant trail starts at the Lake and goes 2.5 miles to Devil's Slide past Angel Falls. This is a great hike during spring!
