Recreate Safely in Mammoth Lakes!

Recreate safely around streams, lakes, and waterways in Mammoth Lakes. With the historic snowpack bringing record runoff to the Eastern Sierra, waterways are running full, cold, and fast.
Obey posted closure signs, stay away from unstable banks, and avoid unnecessary risks. Check the conditions and know before you go!
Please prepare your home and business to ward against flood risks and fast-moving water.
USFS has launched an Inciweb page specifically for updates regarding flooding impacts, road damage, and weather alerts.
The Lakes Basin remains closed for vehicle access. Inyo National Forest campground statuses can be found here – some are open, but many are delayed due to snow and winter damage.
Parks and Facilities currently open include: Whitmore Pool (lap swim only), Whitmore Recreation Area (Ball Fields 1 & 3 and the Synthetic Sports Field & Track), Shady Rest Park (playground, restrooms, Ball Fields 1 & 2), Volcom Brothers Skatepark & Little Brothers Skatepark, Trails End Park, and Mammoth Creek East restrooms. Click here to view the updated status of Town parks, trails, and facilities.
Property owners can collect sandbags from the Town Yard – 299 Commerce Drive.
