Paddlers visiting Mammoth Lakes should make
time to explore the stunning Twin Lakes.
Stretching along Twin Lakes Road just off
Interstate 395, these picturesque lakes
offer breathtaking views to delight any
paddler. The north end of Twin Lakes
features a dazzling waterfall, Twin Falls,
cascading down snow-capped peaks and flanked
by towering pines—an impressive sight on a
summer day.
This vantage point provides the perfect spot
to photograph the majestic waterfall. Of the
four lakes in the Mammoth Lakes Basin, Twin
Lakes was the only one I saw with fishermen
floating in inner tubes on the water. There
were quite a number of them enjoying the
lake.
Mammoth Lakes is an ideal destination for
family camping and paddlers of all skill
levels, thanks to its natural beauty. When
planning a summer kayaking trip to Mammoth,
be sure to allocate a few days at the
remarkable Twin Lakes. It's sure to become a
favorite paddling spot and leave you with
cherished memories. Uniquely, Twin Lakes can
be accessed by car year-round.

The lake is renowned for its excellent trout
fishing, likely due to the regular stocking
of trophy-sized Alpers trout during the
summer.
