Lake Genevieve
About Lake Genevieve
Lake Genevieve in Mono County, California, offers a peaceful seasonal retreat surrounded by the natural beauty of the Eastern Sierra region. Though modest in size, covering about 45 acres, its shallow waters provide an accessible and intimate setting for outdoor enthusiasts. The lake's surface remains calm and inviting, making it a serene spot for visitors during the warmer months. Situated near the towns of Mammoth Lakes and Crowley Lake, this lake's elevation and location contribute to its unique seasonal character. Its zero-foot maximum depth means the lake is quite shallow, which influences the aquatic environment and the types of activities suitable throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy the lake's natural ambiance without the bustle of heavy development or nearby state parks.
