Thanks to the recent storms, the MLTS team has been able to get a portion of the Shady Rest Winter Trails groomed and ready for use. Please use caution as only some of the trails have been groomed. Old Shady Loop and a portion of the New Shady Loop are ready to go and were groomed at 4pm on Thursday 11/10/2022. Please plan and stage appropriately as the groomed trails currently do not connect to the Mammoth Lakes Welcome Center. Trail users should be aware that winter signage maps have not yet been deployed.

Dear MLTS Friends – It’s been an inspiring summer of stewardship on the Mammoth Lakes Trail System. The positive feedback we’ve received from you about trail conditions and cleanliness has been extremely rewarding. We’ve been working to create a layered stewardship system and it is paying off. The variety of programs implemented by the MLTS and others – Trail Crew, Trail Hosts, Water Hosts, Trail Days Volunteers, Lakes Basin Cleanup, Poo Fairy Stations, Tangle Free Waters, Easter Sierra Adopt-A-Trail - all add up to a new level of care and respect for the lands we all love. We are so grateful to everyone who gave their time and helped out throughout the season! But equally exciting, as this summer of trail work winds to a close we’re happy to announce the official opening of several new trails in the Lakes Basin. The Mammoth Lakes community provided recommendations for these trail developments in the Mammoth Lakes Basin as part of the “Lakes Basin Special Study” and we’ll be celebrating their completion with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, October 5 at 3 p.m.

Hello trail friends! It’s finally time… after two years of being postponed, the annual Lakes Basin Cleanup is back!

Thanks to the recent storms, we are pleased to announce that the Winter Trails in Shady Rest are groomed and open for the season. Our lead groomers Andrew and Scott got started this past Thursday night and will be grooming daily or as conditions allow. 

Dear Trail enthusiasts! Tomorrow, June 5th is National Trails Day and we’re happy to announce that Trail Days are back for Summer 2021! With a new structure offering more opportunities than ever, the Mammoth Lakes Trail System invites you to take advantage of volunteer stewardship opportunities all summer long. We are planning safe and fun ways to get involved as we know you are eager to get back to work with us. You are invited to join the Mammoth Lakes Trail System trail crew and hosts to help with new trail construction, maintenance and stewardship activities by signing up online for volunteer shifts. Volunteer opportunities kick-off on National Trails Day, Saturday June 5th and will be available Wednesdays and Weekends through September.

Hello winter trail users! Winter is here and we are working hard to prepare for the amazing winter storms to come. Our team is working to adapt our successful Trail Host program for winter. You will see our team out as Trail Hosts on the Winter Trails in Shady Rest and other trail system facilities. The NEW Community Host program effort will focus on keeping our community clean and providing residents and visitors with good information. The Community Hosts will be working in places where people seek information about public transit, shopping centers, and other services. We want to make sure that people feel welcome and safe as our community adapts to change. Please review information about the Host Programs here.

Multi-use paths around the downtown area and Old Mammoth are OPEN and being maintained to the best of the town’s ability. Please practice social distancing when passing or overtaking others!
