Why Rent On June Lake

Nestled in the Eastern Sierra just off the scenic June Lake Loop (Hwy 158), June Lake is a crystalline alpine gem surrounded by towering granite cliffs and golden aspens. Part of the Inyo National Forest and just 20 minutes from Mammoth Lakes, this 320-acre lake is a favorite for trout fishing—particularly rainbow, brown, and the occasional trophy-sized Alpers trout. June Lake Marina offers boat rentals and tackle, while Oh! Ridge Campground provides stunning lakeside sites. Paddling and swimming are popular in summer, and in fall, the area glows with vibrant foliage. Winter visitors often ski at nearby June Mountain. Don’t miss a stop at June Pie Pizza Co., a cozy spot known for wood-fired pies and local brews.
