County Park is, like South Tufa, a great introduction to
Mono Lake's unique waters and tufa towers. A easy trail
and boardwalk meander to the lake through the willows and
marsh of the
Mono Lake Tufa State Reserve (between
the park and the lake), filled with waving grasses,
colorful wildflowers, and delicate tufa towers. At the
lake, shorebirds feeding on the abundant aquatic life
provide excellent opportunities for birding and general
sight seeing. Nestled along a small stream and shaded by
cottonwood trees, County Park is an idyllic picnic spot.
It has toilets, drinking water, picnic tables, and swings
for the enjoyment of all. It is located just off Highway
395, five miles north of Lee Vining. Throughout summer
months, birding tours are offered several times a week;
check Naturalist Activities
to see if they are available during your visit. No dogs allowed.
