Boat Inspections for Klondike Lake

Klondike Lake will be open May 22 to September 7, 2026, for limited public boating use and fishing on weekends only: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9 a.m. to sunset.Boat access to Klondike Lake is free this summer.

To prevent the spread of invasive quagga, zebra, and golden mussels, all boats must be inspected prior to launching at Klondike.

Starting this year, all boats are required to have a free Eastern Sierra Golden Mussel Collective sticker. Visit the Bishop Inspection Station at 620 South Main Street, Bishop, CA 93514 prior to your first trip to Klondike to get the 2026 Mussel Collective sticker for the season. Hours are 7 days a week 6:30am to 3pm. Expected to be open through October.

There is no charge for the sticker and visitors can get a complimentary wash. After watercrafts have been inspected and granted access, visitors can enjoy the lake all day. Please note, that recreational users with smaller, non-motorized watercrafts not transported with a trailer can access the lake at any time.

Any questions or concerns, you can reach out to us at 760-872-1104 or email [email protected].
