Nestled between two jagged peaks in the Toiyabe National Forest, the pristine Lundy Lake lies in a deep canyon just 14 miles west of Interstate 395 along Lundy Lake Road. This secluded alpine gem reflects the vibrant colors of the surrounding towering mountains and dense forest onto its still, crystal-clear waters.

If you seek a remote, serene lake surrounded by inspiring natural scenery, Lundy Lake is the perfect destination. You'll likely have the entire lake to yourself for a peaceful, easy paddle, regardless of your skill level. However, it's recommended to bring a companion, as Lundy Lake is situated in a remote region. Be sure to bring your camera—the abundant wildlife viewing opportunities here are not to be missed.

The area offers an abundance of scenic hiking trails. Following the north shore will lead you to Lundy Lake Resort and the boat launch. Though the dirt road can narrow in spots, it remains suitable for two-wheel-drive vehicles.

Lundy Lake is a true paddler's paradise, offering endless recreational activities and breathtaking beauty for the perfect weekend getaway. Whether you're looking to escape the summer heat or simply immerse yourself in nature, this alpine oasis is sure to leave you spellbound and eager to return.
