Rock Creek is several miles off and above Highway 395, an ideal place to experience the east side of the Sierra. There may be a “Rock Creek” or two in just about every state in the country, but only one is home to the highest creek in California.

Located at the southern edge of Mono County, Rock Creek Road follows Rock Creek from Highway 395 by Tom’s Place up nearly 3,000’ and a dozen miles to the Mosquito Flats parking lot, some 10,320’ above the sea. About a mile before the road dead ends is where you can find Rock Creek.

Rock Creek Lake is one of the highest creek in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The 55-acre lake offers great fishing and views of the surrounding ridges of the High Sierra. It is also a great launch point for hikes to dozens of high country lakes and streams. The upper reaches of the Little Lakes Valley above Rock Creek Lake are even home to California’s state fish, the legendary golden trout.

The four species of trout in Rock Creek Canyon are brook, brown, rainbow, and golden. Rainbows can be found in most of the creeks and lakes in the canyon, along with brookies and browns. Goldens are quite elusive and are found up canyon in the higher lakes.

Rainbow trout are routinely caught out of both Rock Creek Lake and Rock Creek. An angler may get lucky and catch a huge brown.
