Lake Mamie | California Photo Spot

Though Lake Mamie is the smallest lake in the Mammoth Lakes Basin, it still packs in plenty of jaw dropping scenic views. Mamie’s inlet is fed from Lake Mary and flows in through a canopy of evergreens. The streaming start of the lake is a popular place for local critters like coyotes, deer and bear to come by for a drink. The outlet is dammed, and then feeds the waterfall that leads to Twin Lakes far below. Just above the dam, the road crosses Lake Mamie and it a popular spot to take photos with the Crystal Crag and the Sierra Crest hovering above the gin-clear, alpine waters of Lake Mamie.
