June Lake

This is the only sanctioned swimming lake on the loop. Bring your beach volley ball and play on the provided course. Shade and snacks are a must! There is also a very large established fire pit at one of the beaches, so make a night of it and clean up when finished.  Never leave an untended fire, and when you depart make sure that fire pit is cold to the touch. Motorized boats are permitted on the lake for fishing, but not really wake boarding or surfing.  This is a great beach to bring your inflatable tube (or island) and float.
