Memorial Day Guide: Tuolumne County Camping & Lakes

22 May 2026 15:20

Tuolumne County is ready for Memorial Day weekend with all major passes open and Yosemite campgrounds available. Key updates include boating restrictions at New Melones and Lake Tulloch, and trail closures in Yosemite.

- All passes (Highways 4, 49, 108, 120) and Glacier Point Road are open. - New Melones Lake requires a 30-day seal program for boats to prevent golden mussel spread.

- Lake Tulloch has limited public access; only HOA ramps are available with special stickers. - Yosemite's Ice Cut section of John Muir Trail remains closed until July.

Plan ahead for parking and reservations, as many areas fill quickly.
