If your paddling preferences lean toward serenity, Bridgeport Reservoir in the Eastern Sierras offers a peaceful paddler's paradise. Nestled about an hour north of Mammoth Lakes, this scenic and rugged reservoir provides a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities throughout the year.

Depending on the season, visitors can kayak, canoe, fish, bike, hike, birdwatch, and camp at the reservoir. The healthy populations of Rainbow, Brown, and Sacramento Perch make it a prime fishing destination. Even when the reservoir itself is closed to fishing in winter, the nearby East Walker River remains open year-round.

Whether you prefer to paddle the calm waters, cast a line, or simply relax by the campfire, Bridgeport Reservoir promises a truly beautiful and tranquil experience in nature.
