Lake Mamie offers an array of photographic
possibilities with every turn of your head. The
lake, surrounded by towering pines and
snow-covered mountain peaks, is the smallest of
the four Mammoth Lakes located along Lake Mary
Road.
Whether you glide slightly across the water
in a canoe, kayak, or on a stand-up paddle
board, this peaceful activity is a great way
to explore Lake Mamie. The lake is so puny
that if it wasn’t for its outstanding
beauty, it would hardly be worth paddling.
However, there weren’t any other boaters on
the lake besides me, which was probably due
to its small size, so having this peaceful
haven all to myself made the leisurely
paddle entirely worthwhile.
Lake Mamie is located just 3.5-miles from
Mammoth Lakes, on Lake Mary Road. Kayak
anglers will find a variety of fish species
here. Whether you are bait casting,
fly-fishing or spinning, your chances of
getting a bite here are good. The Department
of Fish and Game plants 13,000 catchable
rainbow trout per year, which may not seem
like a lot, but considering how small the
lake is, you stand a pretty good chance of
hooking a few .
