You don’t have to be an experienced bicyclist to enjoy the Lakes Basin Path. The paved downhill trail is popular among all ages and abilities. Take the free town trolley up to Horseshoe Lake with your bike and ride 5.3-miles all the way back down to the village. This 5.3-mile paved multi-use path connects the North Village to Horseshoe Lake and passes many popular Mammoth Lakes destinations, such as Twin Lakes Vista, Tamarack Lodge, Lake Mamie, and Horseshoe Lake, along the way. It may be accessed at many points along its length via the Lakes Basin Trolley. The descent from Horseshoe Lake to the North Village is 1,000 vertical feet; downhill users can accelerate quickly and must control their speed. This trail is not maintained in the wintertime.

It's beautiful, there are lakes literally everywhere you turn and lots of walking paths and hiking trails. There are campgrounds and you will never run out of things to see. My friend has shown me super old plane wreckage, fallen trees due to the worst wind event I've ever heard of in this area and water falls. Again, you may recognize it from commercials and movies. It's that pretty.
