Hot Creek Access

Hot Creek Access provides multiple parking areas and maintained trails along a scenic gorge section of Hot Creek near Mammoth Lakes.

The main Hot Creek Geological Site features a large paved parking area, vault toilets, and a paved pathway descending into the gorge, with additional unpaved parking areas upstream for anglers.

Wading is not recommended due to habitat concerns and invasive species risks, though bank fishing is easily accessible from the well-maintained trails.
