Convict Lake

Reflections:
This lake is a hidden treasure located about two miles west of Highway 395 just south of Mammoth Lakes, CA. Most travelers pass right by having no idea that it is so close. It makes for a great side trip from the Mammoth area. It is a perfect place for a picnic, or you can take a hike around the lake.

Tip of the Trip:
If you are looking for an elegant dining experience in the Eastern Sierras, this is the place. The Convict Lake Resort has, according to the locals, the finest dining around. There is also a well-stocked general store with some great pictures and memorabilia.

Question:
Do you know how Convict Lake got its name? http://www.convictlakeresort.com/history.html
