Mono Lake Committee Canoe Tours

Discover bubbling springs, alkali flies, brine shrimp, underwater tufa towers, migrating birds, and crystalline waters. Mono Lake is among the world's most biologically productive lakes. Guided canoe tours provide a unique look into the ecology and geology of this high-desert lake. No canoe experience is necessary and we provide all the equipment. Our experienced canoe guides will share with you some of Mono Lake's unusual natural history as well as the story about efforts to protect this three million-year-old lake.
