First time experience coming up to June Lake for the weekend and it was such a lovely getaway…read more Shoutout to my friend for taking me and showing me around. I know for a lot of people this is a nostalgic place that they grew up coming to as kids and have kept the tradition alive coming every year and so on. June lake is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking during the winter when there is snow. My friend has come here all year round and definitely agreed coming in the winter is like a wonderland. It was well worth the 5 hour drive to see snow and be in a cold and beautiful environment. While I'm sure it's lovely in the spring and summer, I'm looking for something I don't have close to home (which would be snow) so I'd definitely consider coming back again in those winter months. June lake is such a sleepy and quiet little area, it's very relaxing and calm. I felt safe being there and navigating the downtown. It's super small as far as the downtown goes, only a handful of restaurants and motels. Great for a solo traveler or someone wanting to wander around by foot. The lakes and mountains surrounding this town are picturesque and stunning. Having been to mammoth and now June lake id say if you want something more relaxing and small town vibes I'd prefer June lake over mammoth. It's got less action but if you are looking to just get away, snowboard/ski, and recharge - this is the perfect vacation destination to check out.

Great lake. The one star is for the gate lady. She said lake was full and come back in 4 hours or…read moretomorrow. We asked another nice man if we could park somewhere else and walk to the lake and he said yes. We parked about half mile away and walked to the lake. When we got down there we found plenty of open parking spots. Nobody monitors how many come in and how many come out so how do they know if there is no parking. We didn't mind the walk but what was disappointing is the gate lady did not even suggest that. She just said its full and that we could not come in. She even tried to compair June lake to tahoe and say it fills up and gets busy quick. LOL sorry to tell you lady but tahoe could drop one tear and over fill june lake and tahoe don't tell people beach is full come back. That just doesn't happen at tahoe.

Skyler was awesome and showed the boys where to catch crawdads. Also, the boat rental rates are the best in the area. We rented a flat bottom boat for $75/ day. We took a lunch break and ate at June Pie - bomb pizza. Then we returned to the lake and killed it. We caught several trout and way too many perch. Definitely a great fishing lake.

This was the first year we attended the Fireman's BBQ. It's a fund raiser by buying raffle tickets…read morehaving the money go to June Lake Fire Department. The big prize is a boat and trailer. They had so many prizes, $1.00 per ticket. You didn't win just one prize, you could win four or more depending on the worth of them. It was a great turn out. The food was outstanding. BBQ brisket, potato salad, beans and two rolls. The kids had a great time with two playgrounds, and a bounce house. We will definitely be back next year. We got there at 12:30 and it was pretty crowded then. The time is from 12:00-4:00. Parking is difficult, you may end up walking a bit, it's worth going.

My wife and I, along with our nine year old son, walked into the June Lake Marina knowing…read moreabsolutely nothing about boating. The staff were so happy to answer our questions about operating a boat and about fishing the lake for trout. We rented a 14 foot aluminum boat with an outboard motor and a cover against the sun for a half day. They took the time and showed us what to do with operating the engine and it was easier than we thought. In fact, we were very comfortable in a short amount of time. We rented fishing equipment: a stocked up tackle box with two poles. Although we didn't catch anything, we had a great time fishing. The rumors are true that the winds kick up in the afternoon, so plan accordingly. We had so much fun, that we decided to come back again a couple days later. Try it. You'll love it.
