Lake Mary
The largest lake in the Mammoth Lakes Basin, its deep blue waters mirroring the Crystal Crag. The top choice for boating, trout fishing and lakeside camping.
Lake Mary is the largest lake in the Mammoth Lakes Basin, sitting at an elevation of about 2,700 meters. Its southern shore is backed by the jagged Crystal Crag and Mammoth Peak, and the lake shows a deep blue color. A boat dock on the lake offers rentals of boats, canoes and paddleboards, and the lake is a popular spot for rainbow and brook trout fishing. Several campgrounds and cabin resorts are nearby. The loop road around the lake connects Lake Mamie, Lake George and Horseshoe Lake, and a free shuttle runs in summer. In winter the road closes and becomes a snowy trail.
