Loon
Lake is an outdoor paradise of sparkling, crystal
clear blue water, awe-inspiring vistas, scenic
hiking trails and first-class fishing. With an
abundance of coves and ten miles of shoreline to
explore, the lake is ideal for all types of outdoor
enjoyment. Recreational opportunities at Loon Lake
seem to have almost no end. You can mountain bike,
hike, snorkel, camp, fish, and much more!
Outdoor enthusiasts often flock to Loon Lake
because of the abundance of wildlife in the area.
Several bald eagles nest nearby the lake's rocky
shores. If you keep a careful lookout, you might
catch a glimpse of bears, deer and raccoons sharing
the habitat.
Hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking and
4-wheeling are popular on the many picturesque
trails surrounding the lake. Loon Lake marks the
gateway to the 18-mile Rubicon Jeep Trail, so be
ready for noise at all hours from 4 wheelers in the
distance.
Both the excellent fishing and the outstanding
scenery attract kayakers to this popular lake. With
exceptional fishing and diverse recreational
opportunities, Loon Lake is a favorite vacation spot
in the summertime. Because it can get crowded in the
summer months, your best bet is to get on the water
early, before everyone else does. Fishing is more
rewarding at the break of day and in the evening,
but during the day you may come up empty handed. .
Whether you want to experience wildlife in the El
Dorado National Forest, indulge in some spectacular
kayak photography opportunities, play in the clear
blue water, or simply relax by the campfire, Loon Lake is
the spot for you. You will find endless
outdoor activities to enjoy.
