The Eastern Sierra is an enjoyable place because of the wide-open spaces. LADWP keeps the majority of the land open to the public for visitors and residents to enjoy hiking on endless trails, catch fish in Crowley Lake or other open waters, and even rock climb vertical walls in the Owens Gorge.
Stay in the know on upcoming boat launch inspections, lake reports, and facility update by checking our LADWP in the Eastern Sierra dedicated site.

Help the Owens River Corridor Recover After Airport Fire |
Approximately 4,000 acres of LADWP property along the Owens River from Bishop to Big Pine burned in the wind-driven Airport Fire in February. We need your help picking up trash that was previously hidden by vegetation, and we urge members of the public to avoid undeveloped areas from East Line Street to Warm Springs Road in the Artesian Springs area in order to help protect the Owens River riparian corridor. Remember to stay on existing roads, avoid driving and parking on the blackened burn areas, and only recreate in developed areas while the land heals. Thank you for protecting this beautiful landscape for all to enjoy!

Mammoth Lakes Recreation Tangle Free Waters Program |
Help us reduce the amount of discarded monofilament fishing line from Eastern Sierra lakes, rivers, and creeks. As a partner of this program, we are supporting the installation of Tangle Free Waters stations and signage across Mono County and parts of Inyo County. Interested in getting involved as a volunteer? A volunteer commitment to weekly servicing of your chosen Tangle Free Waters station will ensure that facilities are in good working order, and that deposited line is collected in a timely manner and sent off for recycling. In exchange volunteers will receive name placement on their station signage; name, profile picture, and hyperlink on the Tangle Free Waters webpage; and inclusion in Mammoth Lakes Recreation’s annual report. |

Trout Fishing Opener April 30
Crowley Lake Boat Launch Information
|
Trout Fishing Opener is Saturday, April 30th. Gates will open at the South and North Landing for Campers (first come, first served) on Thursday, April 28th.
To keep our water safe from the spread of invasive quagga mussels, all boats entering Crowley Lake will be inspected. Boats showing signs of contamination, or found to contain any water or debris that could harbor mussels will not be allowed to launch into Crowley Lake. Boats that have tags from last season 2021, do not need to be re-inspected as long as the original tag has not been broken or tampered with. Inspections begin weekend of April 22.
