Canoeing and Kayaking Canoeing and kayaking are the best way to explore the off shore tufa at Mono Lake. The best launch site is at Navy Beach on the south shore. If you plan anything more than a casual shoreline trip, please leave a note on your windshield as to when you intend to get back. You must be fit and prepared to make this trip. Take camping gear along, even on the calmest day.
Winds can come up suddenly and make an overnight stay a necessity.
