California’s Great Beyond

Kayaking / Canoeing / Paddleboarding

Paddling Adventures Await

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junkie to enjoy Mono County. Locals and visitors alike love spending a mellow day out paddling Mono County’s lakes and streams. Whether you’re kayaking, canoeing, or stand up paddleboarding (SUP), you'll find dozens of lakes and rivers to explore. Front-country locations typically have easy parking and designated boat launch areas. If you don’t mind carrying an inflatable paddleboard or kayak in a backpack, you’ll find dozens more amazing backcountry lakes to paddle on just a hike away. 

Bring your own watercraft, or easily rent one when you get here.
