About Parchers Resort
Parchers Resort sits high in the Bishop Creek Canyon at roughly 9,260 feet, an easy drive up South Lake Road from the town of Bishop into the heart of the Eastern Sierra. Alongside its rustic cabins and cafe, the resort operates the South Lake Boat Landing, making it the rental and launch hub for one of the region's most scenic alpine lakes.
The landing rents a full fleet for exploring South Lake's deep blue water beneath the granite peaks of the John Muir Wilderness: stand-up paddleboards, single and tandem kayaks, fishing boats with small motors, and pontoon boats for larger groups, available by the hour or the day. The stocked and wild trout fishing here is excellent, and the calm, jaw-dropping setting makes it equally appealing to casual paddlers and families looking for a high-mountain day on the water.
Family-run and beloved by generations of Eastern Sierra visitors, Parchers Resort combines easy rental access with backcountry trailheads that climb toward Bishop Pass and the high lakes basin. For anyone wanting to paddle, fish or simply float beneath some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in California, the South Lake Landing at Parchers is the place to start.
