JUNE LAKE

The community of June Lake is about 23 miles north of Mammoth Lakes on U.S. Highway 395. It is surrounded by towering, snow-covered peaks and lies a horseshoe-shaped valley studded with three large, natural lakes; June Lake, Gull Lake and Silver Lake.

At the northeastern edge of the June Lake area, giant Grant Lake, a storage reservoir for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, is a magnet for water sports and lake fishing.

June Lake had a population of about 630 people at the last U.S. Census, and lies at an elevation of 7,654 feet. The community residences, campgrounds, hotels and other facilities and amenities are spread roughly along a five-mile stretch of State Route 158, which is also known as the June Lake Loop road.

June Mountain Ski Area towers over the southeastern edge of the community. It is owned by Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, which operates a family-friendly ski hill that offers both easy terrain for beginners, and some epic Black Diamond chutes for the more advanced skier or boarder.

June Lake’s economy is dominated by tourism. During winters, the community swells to accommodate the skiers and boarders hitting the slopes of June Mountain, high above the June Lake Loop.

In the summer and fall, thousands of tourists and visitors come to the June Lake Loop area to fish, hike, climb, camp, fishing in June or Gull or Silver Lake in the misty morning, then heading up the Yost Creek trailhead in the afternoon to bask in the summer sun at the pristine lake.

The community is small-business-friendly and sports a new brewery, the June Lake Brewery, along with several other new businesses, whose owners are drawn to the mountain lifestyle and easy access to gigbit speed broadband service.

The June Lake Loop is also known the country over for its exquisite fall colors, which come from the extensive stands of aspens that surround every lake, waterfall, creek and meadow. When the first frost of fall hits, the leaves transform into a forest of gold.
