McKinley Grove is a small, isolated giant sequoia grove located about 7.5 mi southeast of Dinkey Creek in the Kings River watershed of Sierra National Forest, California. The grove occupies a small bowl-shaped depression at an elevation of 6,316 ft. The grove hosts between 150 and 200 large trees. Parts of the grove were logged in the 1980s, though the heart of the grove remains largely untouched. A short paved path winds through a cluster of about 20 giant sequoias with an open understory of dogwood resembling that of the Giant Forest grove of Sequoia National Park. The grove also features a large fallen giant sequoia.

McKinley Grove is a stand of virgin, mostly mature Giant Sequoia trees, with the largest being over 230 feet tall. Mature sequoias average 15 ft. in diameter and 250 feet in height.At the turn of the century, fallen trunks of giant sequoias served as cabins and tables. Some cut stumps were so large they served as dance floors that would accommodate two or three dozen couples. McKinley Grove was originally called the Washington Grove and then Dusy Grove in honor of a colorful local settler. It was later named McKinley Grove after the 25th president of the United States. Because there were no roads or trails nearby, McKinley Grove remained undiscovered until 1869. Even then few people visited the site. The grove remains in the public domain, but has been protected by the Sierra Forest Reserve since 1893. Take Hwy 168 east from Clovis toward Prather. Continue through Prather to Shaver Lake. Just before you reach the Village of Shaver Lake turn right on Dinkey Creek Road. Travel 11.7 miles east to the Intersection of the Dinkey Creek Road and the McKinley Grove Road. Turn right and travel 5.7 miles north on the McKinley Grove Road to the picnic area.
