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.
