Hidden in a dense forest about a mile above Lake Mary (in the Mammoth Lakes area) lies a mysterious mill site dating back to the late 1890s. Although the passing years have not been kind to the mill, old foundations and a few unique mill artifacts remain today. The site can be reached with a short moderate hike, or incorporated into a more ambitious hike to any of the lakes accessed by the popular Duck Lake Trail.
