The oblong-shaped lake is filled with water as clear as glass, encircled by a three-mile long access trail and boxed in by the steep backdrop of the Sierra Nevada, highlighted by the 12,241’ Mount Morrison. Convict Lake was originally carved out by glaciers, and at up to 140’ deep in some places, it’s one of the deepest lakes in the region.
About a 15 minute drive from Mammoth Mountain Convict Lake offers fishing, boating, hiking and horseback riding in the summer. The Restaurant at Convict Lake is one of the best dining experiences in the area. Reservations recommended.
Easy 2.5 mile trail around the lake to hike. There is a nice beach at the end of the road surrounding the lake for a picnic, sunning and fishing. Rent Sups, canoes, or a pontoon from the Marina.
We love this lake for it's sheer beauty, boat rentals and a good 3 hour tour! There is an easy hiking trail around the lake or you can rent a boat and enjoy some good fishing with a picnic!
