June Lake

About June Lake

The place to go on holiday in June is the village with four lakes, which is located in the June Lake Loop and borders to the north, south, east, west and east.

The loop is actually California State Route 158, which leaves US Highway 395 and runs 16 miles through the canyon. In these 16 miles you will find endless winter and summer activities, but if you like the beauty of the lake and the beautiful scenery, the June Lake Loop cannot wait for you.

Originally inhabited by the Paiute and Shoshone Indians, the area around June Lake remained fairly isolated until the beginning of the 20th century, when road and rail construction began. The original attraction of the JuneLake Loop was not California's gold and silver, but hydropower. The construction of the first power plant west of the lake was completed in June 1916, and the construction of a second power plant a few years later.

Small fishing camps and resorts were established soon after, and in the 1940s Lake June flourished and ski lifts were built.

June Lake maintains its tranquil, rural lifestyle and continues to offer a variety of recreational activities including fishing, camping and hiking while maintaining its status as one of the most scenic lakes in California. Follow Highway 395, turn left at the first sign - drive to the north side of Lake June and pass the town of June, a small town with about 1,000 inhabitants.

The fishing industry, known as one of the leading trout fisheries in the Sierra, requires boaters to drive at 10 km / h in the morning and 10 km / h in the afternoon. It is also legally required to be on the lake at all times except at 10 am. Early in the morning, anglers catch a good number of trout, as well as some small mules. Grant Lake is the largest lake serving as a reservoir for the Los Angeles Aqueduct System. The lake is open to boaters and water skiers, with a maximum speed of 30 km / h and an average speed of over 40 km / h.

The heart of June Lake Village is on Möwensee, near June Lake, and the third lake in the loop is Mowensee, the smallest of four lakes. Next is Silver Lake, where you will find several hiking trails that connect the lake to the nearby Silver River Trail, a popular hiking trail for hikers and mountain bikers. The second most popular hiking trail, the Gold Lake Trail (1.5 km), is also near the village, on the west side of JuneLake, just a few hundred meters from the shore.

The fourth lake is June Lake, a 320 hectare natural glacial lake filled with spring water. This beautiful lake is located at 1,390 meters above sea level and offers spectacular views of the towering granite mountains around June Lake Loop and the nearby Silver River.

The average depth of the lake is 60 feet and the maximum depth is 168 feet, but the average size of rainbow trout ranges from 1.5 to 3 feet. Other species are Lahontan trout, which occurs only in the June lakes, and rainbow trout, the largest trout species in the June lake.

If the water is too cold to swim in, consider sailing or kayaking along the three-mile coastline. The first is at the northern end of the lake and the second at the southern end, near the southern end. Both marinas offer boat rentals and a wide range of services, while the fishing season lasts from April to October.
