They had so many prizes, $1.00 per ticket. You didn't win just one prize, you could win four or more depending on the worth of them. It was a great turn out. The food was outstanding. BBQ brisket, potato salad, beans and two rolls. The kids had a great time with two playgrounds, and a bounce house. We will definitely be back next year. We got there at 12:30 and it was pretty crowded then. The time is from 12:00-4:00. Parking is difficult, you may end up walking a bit, it's worth going.

We rented a pontoon boat, spent the day fishing, and had a great time. My husband caught 6 perch, which made his day! We also went over to check out the columns, and they were really cool to see. Renting the boat was super easy, and Vince was awesome. He helped us leave the dock and was there when we came back in. He made everything really simple. The little store has pretty much everything you might need too :) fishing poles, bait, shirts, hats, and other gear at good prices. Also there are restrooms in the back past the fish cleaning station that are clean! Overall, it was just an awesome day on the lake. We'll definitely be back next year :)

The first time I visited HorseShoe Lake, the lot was packed, and the hike was no joke! I was out of…read moreshape, and there was still a lot of snow on the trail in July! It was tough. My cousin even had a close call when he accidentally slid off the trail, ran down 100 feet, and narrowly missed hitting trees. (Slipper snow) Despite the challenges, the reward at the top was well worth it. It was a beautiful, secluded lake. Some of us tried a little fishing, while the girls jumped into the freezing cold water for a swim. The water was so "pristine" that my hair felt conditioned afterward. It was magnificent, the water felt untouched and almost holy! This past summer, we hiked it again for the 4th of July, and it was so much easier because I had lost 20 pounds, haha! I'd say the hike is about 13 minutes up, around 2 miles round trip, and great for all ages. Just make sure you're in decent shape and don't have any serious health concerns. When I was 20 pounds heavier, the hike felt like a 10/10 in difficulty. Now, it's more like a 3/10, a total breeze!

We did mountain coaster, tubing, bungee trampoline, rock climbing, archery, ropes challenge. Everything was fun and the staff were nice and friendly. It's highly recommended to show up at opening time itself if you want to do everything and multiple times. :) The adventure pass also allows you to use the gondola ride up mammoth mountain which is a must to do. Definitely go till the top and spend some time exploring the mountain top. You can also have lunch up there. All in all great time. Highly recommend.

There was a bear on the lake, and it took this guys large trout, haha, he was cool about it and he got pictures with it before the bear,but, what a story, right!?! An hour was enough time to motor around the lake. Next time I think we're going to go for 2 hours, bring a couple beers and some food to pull up on shore, eat and make a thang out of it. Also I recommend eating at the BBQ spot in front of the store, Teddy, has serious bbq skills. Kids were being picky eaters on the trip, but they devoured that burger, wife and I were stoked!

Once you get to the lake, you will be at a place that very few people know about, let alone have ever seen. It is a great pristine lake that is fun to fish at, swim at if you are open to super cold water. It is mostly filled with mountain run off. I have never had a bad time at this lake. Heck as a kid I would come here with my parents and grand parents to get out of town and into nature. The only way up here is basically mountain bike, horseback, or afoot. I have always come here on foot and loved it. A lot of the Mammoth locals come here as a nice way to get out of town and be completely in nature while being a short hike away. This particular lake is filled with great memories for me. I took my daughter here for the first time this summer. She loved it. Heck we even found a trio of deer in the brush on the way down the hill. She was super excited about it. We even made it within bowshot of the deer but were just there to trek. Regardless, nature abounds in this close but remote spot. ;) I dare you to hit it up if you can find it and you dare... Hint: park at the Horseshoe Lake lot and head up the hill a mile or mile and a half and boom... there it is ;)

I was hesitant to do this ahead of time as I didn't want to purchase it and then arrive and find out we couldn't go for some reason. When we got there the WiFi was so bad that we almost left before we were finally able to sign up for the insurance using our phones. The site states they have coaches available but that was not really accurate. The employee there was very nice and fun but was not too knowledgeable about the tricks or equipment available, she did not know how to use the harnesses that were there so we were not able to utilize those at all. There are some small skis, a snowboard, and a skateboard for use on the trampolines which was pretty fun. There are two trampoline rooms, only one was available while we were there which was not a problem as the kids were able to switch off and rear in between turns. This was definitely a highlight of our mammoth vacation, and if we lived in mammoth I'm sure we would be visiting frequently.
