Good spot to swim or put in your canoe or kayak

Navy Beach

Navy Beach is next to South Tufa Area, with a short trail connecting them. Due to the proximity of the parking lot to the lakeshore, this is the most popular place to put in kayaks and canoes. Be sure to read the signs warning boaters of hazards and area closures that protect nesting birds. The Mono Lake Committee guides Canoe Tours from this location during the summer months. Caldera Kayaks leads kayak tours. Parking is not recommended for activities other than launching boats, since the parking lot is very small and often full. Park at the South Tufa lot if you would like to go swimming. Showers are available in Lee Vining.
