Hot Creek Access provides public fishing access to one of California's premier fly-fishing destinations, with multiple parking areas and maintained trails descending into a scenic gorge.

The main Hot Creek Geological Site trailhead features a large paved parking area, vault toilets, and a paved pathway leading into the gorge, though wading is not permitted and the geothermal waters near the site can be dangerously hot.

Access is located approximately 20 minutes east of Mammoth Lakes via a rough gravel road suitable for passenger vehicles with caution.
