Bass Lake has a lovely trail that loops for about a mile and is shaded by many mature trees. Convenient benches are located along the trail for visitors to relax and take in all the views and plentiful wildlife.

The lake is nestled in the 3,500-acre Moses H. Cone Memorial Park and is surrounded by many trails for both hikers and horseback riders alike. The lake also boasts multiple picnic areas and nicely maintained restrooms. There is ample free parking for visitors as well. You can also visit Flat Top Manor, which sits to the North of the lake and was built in 1901.
