Silver Lake is one of four lakes along the
June Lake Loop, offering sweeping panoramic
views of majestic mountains and surrounded
by towering aromatic pines. This picturesque
lake is ideal for novice or leisurely
paddlers, providing a relaxing experience
and breathtaking scenery. Be sure to bring a
camera to capture the amazing vistas.
The June Lake Loop boasts a wealth of
natural wonders, from jaw-dropping scenery
and excellent camping facilities to
trophy-size rainbow trout. Kayak anglers
will delight in the abundance of fishing
opportunities, with prime spots near where
Rush Creek enters the lake, around the small
islands at the south end, and along the
southeast shoreline.
Beyond paddling and superb fishing, Silver
Lake provides a myriad of family-friendly
recreational activities. Stand-up
paddleboarding is a popular option, suitable
for all ages and skill levels—a fun and
adventurous way to spend the day on the
water.
The Silver Lake Campground, situated along
Silver Lake Campground Road in the
picturesque town of June Lake, provides both
tent and RV camping options for visitors.
Nestled amidst a lush, mixed forest of
spruce, fir, and aspen trees, some campsites
are positioned directly alongside a nearby
creek, offering shaded, serene sites with
breathtaking views of the lake.
Several trailheads in the area provide
access to the Ansel Adams Wilderness,
Yosemite, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the
renowned John Muir Trail, which spans over
200 miles of remote, pristine Sierra Nevada
wilderness.
On sunny days, Silver Lake's crystal-clear,
 emerald-green
waters draw summer crowds. Once you've
experienced the beauty and serenity of this
remarkable lake, you'll be eager to return.
