These two stunning crystal clear alpine lakes
are located in the Eastern Sierras. The well
maintained Twin Lakes Road is an easy and
relatively flat drive. The intriguing scenery,
minimal amount of boat traffic, and perfect
water conditions make this a must-see paddling
destination. If it weren’t for the cold winters,
I’d move there in a heartbeat.
Upper Twin Lake has a 35mph boat speed
limit and allows jet and waterskiing,
whereas Lower Twin Lake’s boat speed limit
is 5mph. The only boats I saw on either
lake while I was there were a couple of
small fishing boats and a number of kayaks
pulled up on the shore. Otherwise, I had
these two lakes entirely to myself. After a
satisfying paddle on the water, this superb
kayaking experience will leave you full,
rested and wanting more.
Twin Lakes hums with outdoor activity all
summer long. Enjoy pristine fishing,
boating, camping, and hiking. Twin Lakes is
a kayak angler’s haven. Not only does it
have stunning scenery, but some of the
largest brown trout found in California have
been caught here.
Paddlers can plan on a nonstop adventure at
this outstanding paddling retreat.
During
the early morning hours, as the sun rises
over the foothills,
perfect reflections
of the surrounding terrain are cast onto the
lake’s glassy water surface. This is a “must
see” paddling destination!
