June Lake looks like a postcard. With its crystal-clear waters surrounded by the serrated edges of the Sierra Nevada, the view from Oh Ridge above the lake is exceptionally photo worthy. That's why pictures of June Lake have graced countless calendars and car commercials. It's also why getting a chance to fish, hike, picnic or just hang out on June Lake's sandy beaches makes you feel like you're playing on a postcard.

Covering around 320 acres, June is one of the largest lakes in the region as well as one of the few natural ones. It is popular for fishing, especially trolling, and for offering arguably the best beaches in the Eastern Sierra. June Lake offers several boat ramps and marinas. The June Lake beach along the eastern edge of the lake holds soft sand and a swimming area, as well as views to take your breath away. Canoeing, kayaking and sailing are also popular along the mile-and-half long lake.
