Crowley Lake is located just off Highway 395 in the Eastern Sierra, 25-miles north of Bishop and 12-miles south of Mammoth Lakes. Crowley Lake is on a huge flat basin below Mammoth Lakes, which provides exhilarating panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada snow-capped mountain peaks. But the flat brush-covered shoreline offers little in the way of scenic coves to explore. However, it does provide a relaxing paddling unless you happen to arrive on a day when there is a fishing contest, and over 200 boats may be on the lake at the same time. Crowley Lake is most known for trout fishing, however, in recent years, various other watersports, such as kayaking, waterskiing, wake boarding, and wake surfing, have become more popular.Paddling is truly the best way to enjoy Crowley Lake, giving you the opportunity to see surrounding mountains reflecting off calm waters, and take in the diverse wildlife that makes the lake their home. Spend the day exploring, then slow your pace to enjoy sapphire skies, while you cast out a hook and line.
Crowley Lake is planted
with hundreds of thousands of small rainbow
trout each summer. By the next opening day,
these fish average almost one pound each.
The best kayak fishing opportunities for
larger rainbow trout and brown trout in
Crowley Lake will be
to troll in the early season. A favorite
trolling run is from the Chalk Cliffs to
McGee Bay. Whether you come to pad Map of Crowley Lake |
