Mono Lake (Tufa Boat Ramp) Boat Ramp

The Tufa Boat Ramp at Mono Lake, located at the corner of Highway 395 and Third Street in Lee Vining, provides an unimproved launch ramp for boats too large to carry, making it suitable for motorized vessels and larger watercraft.

All types of boating are permitted on Mono Lake, though access to islands is restricted April 1-August 1 to protect nesting gulls, and boaters must stay at least 200 yards from Osprey nesting sites on offshore tufa towers.

The facility is managed by California State Parks and open to the public; for canoes and kayaks, Navy Beach on the south shore is recommended as an alternative with closer parking to the water.
