Practical Wanderlust
Crisp mountain air. Shimmering lakes. Scenic drives. Colorful fall foliage. Welcome to June Lake, California!
Take a Road Trip
Half the fun of visiting June Lake is the road trip to get there! During the spring, summer and fall you can take a scenic detour through Yosemite National Park or Lake Tahoe on your way to June Lake from San Francisco.
Breakfast is the best meal of the day, especially in June Lake! There are 2 excellent options for breakfast, depending on if you’re grabbing and going or sitting down for a nice long brunch.
Whether you’re an expert kayaker or you’ve never touched a kayak in your life, kayaking on Silver Lake is NOT to be missed. This was my favorite activity during our trip to June Lake.
A traditional brewpub with unusually good beer! Try the Imperial Cookies and Milk Stout or the Kilbane’s Irish Nitro Stout, but don’t skip out on their German varieties.
We recommend visiting after spending the day at Edgewater Beach – it’s the perfect place the catch the sun setting over Lake Erie!
There are tons of natural (FREE) hot springs in Mono County to relax in after hiking or fishing that are a short drive away from June Lake.
We stayed in a charming cabin at the Double Eagle Resort! But without a group, it’s a bit pricey – so we found some more budget-friendly options.
