Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Horseshoe Lake is not far from town, and makes for a great day trip for those visiting the town of Mammoth Lakes. This beautiful lake is the only body of water in the Mammoth Lakes Basin where visitors are allowed to go swimming, and it’s an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed, as swimming in a lake surrounded by tall pines and the rocky peaks of the Sierra Nevadas is an incredible way to spend an afternoon. Visitors can also take advantage of the opportunity for hiking and mountain biking, as the lake is accessible via an easy 1.5 mile hike, and there is a 7 mile mountain biking loop that goes around Horseshoe Lake and is great for bikers of all ability levels.
