Trip Overview

Beautiful scenic lake in the chain of lakes near Mammoth. We got there around 1 pm. There was little to no wind even later on in the afternoon. The lake is easily paddled around in a short amount of time due to it's smaller size and placid conditions. Great place for beginners, kids and people just looking for a leisurely scenic paddle. The water is very clear and fairly shallow in most parts. (not too shallow to obstruct) There are no motor boats so the water is not the least bit choppy. There is a beautiful hiking trail that goes completely around the lake for a after paddle hike. Just a wonderful relaxing paddle in a beautiful place.
