Easy lakeside walks to big days in the backcountry, June Lake is a gateway to some of the Eastern Sierra’s best hiking.
Day hikes around June Lake do not require a wilderness permit. Overnight trips into designated wilderness areas may require a permit, so check current regulations before heading out.
Dogs are welcome on many trails around June Lake, but regulations vary by area. Keep dogs under control, follow posted leash requirements and always pack out pet waste.
Summer through fall offers the best access to most trails. Snow can linger at higher elevations well into summer, while September and October bring cooler temperatures and brilliant fall color.
June Lake sits at roughly 7,600 feet, and many trails climb much higher. Take your time, stay hydrated, bring sun protection and layers, and know your limits—especially if you’re coming from lower elevations.
