The Mono Lake Committee was founded in 1978 to stop the excessive water diversions to Los Angeles that had caused Mono Lake to lose half its volume. The health of the Mono Basin was seriously threatened by the diversions and in 1994, after years of litigation and struggle, the California Supreme Court and State Water Board ordered LA to allow Mono Lake to rise. The lake has been on a path toward health ever since.
The Mono Lake Committee Information Center & Bookstore offers a video about the Mono Lake story, interpretive exhibits, tourist information, a fine art gallery, and a selection of items for sale: books, maps, T-shirts, local artisan crafts, jewelry, and gifts.

Hours Open: 9:00am--5:00pm every day

ADA Accessibility Notes
The Mono Lake Committee has a wheelchair-accessible entrance at the back of the building.
Eco-Friendly Notes
The Committee operates out of a building that formerly served as a dance hall for the workers who built the Los Angeles Aqueduct. With a small facility, an emphasis on using recycled paper products for office operations and bookstore materials, and a drought-tolerant outdoor garden, the Committee is always striving to be more eco-friendly. Next step: solar panels!
Locally or Family Owned Business
Pet Friendly Notes
