Places to Swim in Mammoth

While most complexes and hotels have pools to take a dip, nothing beats swimming and floating in a cool lake. Splish splash around in the brisk waters of a cool mountain lake or relax in the warm sand of a beach.

Top spots to rejuvenate with a dip are June Lake which has a nice sandy beach. You can also rent kayaks and other play toys right on the sand. Bring a blow up raft as floating is very popular. Grant Lake is also in June, and is just around the corner. It too has a shoreline, although you'll find more waterskiing here. Horseshoe Lake has a beach although it is not a popular place to sit, but rather to walk around and put your toes in the water. The Mammoth Lakes Community pool is called Whitmore Pool and there is also a pool at Bishop City Park.

Whitmore Pool which is the closest public pool is on Benton Crossing Road, near the Green Church off of Hwy. 395. The pool has different sessions for lap swimming, free play and lessons. Please call for the schedule as it changes throughout the season. Whitmore Pool 760-935-4222
