Lake Mamie, the smallest of the Mammoth Lakes, offers a wealth of photographic opportunities with every turn. Surrounded by towering pines and snow-capped peaks, this serene body of water is a true visual gem.

Whether you glide across the lake in a canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard, the experience is both peaceful and rewarding. Despite the lake's diminutive size, its natural beauty makes it well worth exploring. In fact, the lack of other boaters on the water during my visit only added to the tranquil ambiance, making the leisurely paddle all the more enjoyable.

Just 3.5 miles from Mammoth Lakes along Lake Mary Road, Lake Mamie is a prime destination for kayak anglers. With the Department of Fish and Game stocking over 13,000 catchable rainbow trout annually, the odds of landing a few fish are quite favorable, whether you're baitcasting, fly-fishing, or spinning.
