Bridgeport, California: Escape to Your Sierra Adventure

Bridgeport: A Sierra Gem Where Time Stands Still 

Bridgeport isn’t just another stop along Highway 395; it’s a place that feels like stepping back into a simpler time. Here, amidst the towering Sierra Nevada peaks, families gather for generations-old camping traditions at Twin Lakes. On the 4th of July, the town comes alive with a small-town fireworks celebration that’s the epitome of Americana.

But Bridgeport is more than just nostalgia. It’s a haven for outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes. Hike the dramatic peaks of Sawtooth Ridge or conquer a section of the Pacific Crest Trail. Reel in a trophy trout on a pristine lake. Explore the haunting beauty of Bodie State Park, a California Gold Rush ghost town frozen in time. In winter, the surrounding mountains transform into a wonderland for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling.

Bridgeport Offers Something for Everyone:

• Hikers: Explore miles of scenic trails for all skill levels, from family-friendly paths to challenging climbs.  WE love the Fall hikes out of Twin Lakes or up Green Creek for example as locations not to miss in your hiking adventures.
• Anglers: Cast your line in Bridgeport’s many beautiful lakes teeming with trout, bass, and other fish. And the East Walker river heading North out of town is a four season hot spot for fly fisherman.
• History Buffs: Delve into the rich past at Bodie State Park, a gold rush ghost town, or visit the Bridgeport Ranger Station Museum to learn about the region’s natural and cultural heritage.  For those who enjoy a OHV action the BLM land to the East of Bridgeport is prime area to explore the mining past and history of the stage coach runs for times long gone.
• Water Enthusiasts: Kayak, paddleboard, or swim in Bridgeport’s sparkling lakes, or soak in the natural hot springs.
• Adventure Seekers: Embark on an off-road adventure on rugged trails, or test your limits with some wilderness backpacking.
