From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Virginia Lakes refers to a cluster of lakes in the Eastern Sierra Nevada in Mono County, California. Virginia Lakes is located a few miles off U.S. Highway 395 roughly halfway between Bridgeport, California to the North and Lee Vining, California to the South. Located in the Virginia Lakes area are a resort, pack station and a small community. Virginia Lakes is popular with anglers, hikers and campers. A trail beginning at Virginia Lakes serves as a gateway to the Sierra backcountry and Yosemite National Park.

The bodies of water that comprise Virginia Lakes include Trumbull Lake, Red Lake, Blue Lake, Virginia Lake, Cooney Lake, Moat Lake and the Frog Lakes. These are all connected by the perennial Virginia Creek (not navigable).
