Paddlers planning to visit Mammoth Lakes need to
fit beautiful Twin Lakes into their trip
itinerary. Twin Lakes stretches along Twin Lakes
Road, just off of Interstate 395, offering
stunning views to tantalize paddlers. The north
end of Twin Lakes offers a dazzling view of Twin
Falls, a lightning bolt-shaped waterfall,
cascading out of the middle of snow-capped
mountain peaks with towering pines flanking the
shoreline’s edge. It is quite an impressive
sight to see on a hot summer day.
There is no better place to photograph the
majestic waterfall than this special vantage
point. Of the four lakes located in the
Mammoth Lakes Basin listed on this site, the
Twin Lakes were the only ones I saw with the
fishermen in fishing inner tubes on the
lake. There were quite a number of them,
too.
Mammoth Lakes are ideal for family camping
and for all levels of paddlers, if a
breathtakingly beautiful surrounding is all
you require. So, the next time you consider
Mammoth Lakes part of your summer kayak
itinerary, plan a couple of days at Twin
Lakes. It will quickly become one of your
favorite paddling destinations
and will provide you with a host of fond
memories. Twin Lakes is the only lake which
can be accessed by car in summer and winter.
Twin Lakes is known for its
outstanding
trout fishing. Most likely because the lake
receives regular plants of trophy-sized
Alpers trout during the summer.
