Lundy Lake lies nestled between two jagged
mountains in a deep canyon a short distance
north of June Lake in the Toiyabe National
Forest, fourteen miles west off of Interstate
395 on Lundy Lake Road. Massive mountain peaks
and a dense forest reflect a tapestry of color
onto the still water of this pristine alpine lake.
If you are in search of a small secluded
lake encompassed by inspiring scenery on all
sides, where chances are you will have the
entire lake to yourself, then this is the
perfect lake for you. It is a short, easy
paddle, but well worthwhile for all levels
of paddlers. Lundy Lake is located in a
remote region, so paddle this lake with a
friend. And don’t forget to bring your
camera! You will experience some of the best
wildlife viewings!
There is an abundance of scenic trails in
the area. If you hike along the north shore
of Lundy Lake, you’ll reach the Lundy Lake
Resort and boat launch. The road from here
is dirt and gets pretty narrow in places,
but it’s fine for two wheel drive vehicles.
Once you get past the private campsites,
there’s an Inyo Nat Forest sign and a no
camping sign. The road ends in a one-way
loop around an outhouse at the Lundy Canyon
Trailhead, where there are a few small
campsites with picnic tables tucked into the
trees with plenty of parking. There’s no
visibility of the lake due to the trees and
brush.
Lundy Lake is a paddler’s wonderland with
plenty of recreational activities to enjoy
for
a weekend getaway. The beauty of the area
will leave you spellbound and eager to come
back to see more. If you are looking for a
cool retreat during
those hot summer months,
come up to Lundy Lake where there is always
something fun for everyone!
