Black Lake
About Black Lake
Black Lake in Mono County, California, invites visitors to enjoy its quiet, natural setting throughout the year. This modestly sized lake spans 112 acres, providing ample space for outdoor enthusiasts to appreciate the surrounding landscape. Its notably shallow depth, essentially at surface level, creates a unique environment that differs from deeper mountain lakes. Situated near the small town of Benton, Black Lake offers a peaceful retreat with a broad, open water surface that reflects the changing seasons vividly. The shallow waters mean the lake's character is defined more by its surface area and scenic openness than by underwater depth, making it a distinctive spot in this part of California.
