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!
