Recreation Mammoth Pool Reservoir offers a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, boating, hiking and wildlife viewing. A boat ramp is available at the reservoir. Hikers can access the nearby French Trail, a 12.7-mile foot trail that provides access to the Ansel Adams Wilderness. Facilities Each campsite has a picnic table, grill and campfire ring. Vault toilets are provided, but campers must bring drinking water. Campers will find a pay phone, gas and camping supplies at nearby Wagner's Mammoth Pool Resort.
