Several trails offer a variety of hikes nearby, including a 4-mile trail on Mammoth Mountain and two shorter nature trails along the lakes. Families enjoy attending educational programs scheduled throughout the summer. Facilities This is a large facility with campsites split into two sections on either side of Twin Lakes.
