The Eastern Sierras are home to two stunning, crystal-clear alpine lakes. The well-maintained Twin Lakes Road provides easy, relatively flat access to this must-see paddling destination. The intriguing scenery, minimal boat traffic, and perfect water conditions make this area a true outdoor haven. If not for the cold winters, it would be hard to resist moving here.

Upper Twin Lake has a 35 m.p.h. speed limit that allows jet skiing and water skiing, while Lower Twin Lake's limit is a slower 5 mph. During my visit, the only vessels I saw were a few small fishing boats and several kayaks pulled up on the shore; otherwise, I had these pristine lakes entirely to myself. After a satisfying paddle, this superb kayaking experience leaves you feeling rested and eager to return.

Twin Lakes hums with outdoor recreation all summer long. Outstanding fishing, boating, camping, and hiking opportunities abound. It's a true haven for kayak anglers, not only for its stunning scenery but also for the massive brown trout that have been caught in these waters.

Nestled just 9 miles from the quaint town of Bridgeport, California, Robinson Creek South Campground provides a scenic retreat by the flowing waters of Robinson Creek. Set amidst a grand forest of towering Jeffrey pines, the campground offers delightful partial shade, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. The area is accentuated by lush lodgepole pines, fragrant sagebrush, and vibrant summer wildflowers that speckle the landscape, adding to the campground's natural charm. This picturesque setting is perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of nature while enjoying a peaceful escape.

Paddlers can look forward to a nonstop adventure at this outstanding retreat. In the early morning hours, the rising sun casts perfect reflections of the surrounding terrain onto the glassy lake surfaces. This is undoubtedly a "must-see" paddling destination.
