Owens River Road provides access to the Upper Owens River via a paved main road that transitions to dirt offshoots, with numerous dispersed camping spots suitable for RVs and tents along the route.

The road can be accessed from Highway 395 north of Mammoth Lakes and features flat terrain with sparse vegetation, making it ideal for anglers seeking bank access to the river.

Multiple primitive campsites are available along the road, though there are no developed amenities, and visitors should practice Leave No Trace principles.
