    One of our day trips, so many beautiful places to visit in the Sierras.
    Debbie S.

    Silver Lake is a beautiful small lake in the June Lake Loop, about 35 min from Mammoth. My Father built our cabin with his Step-Father when he was 12 years old, in the 30's. It is so beautiful in the morning when it's calm, the lake is like a mirror, that why they call it Silver Lake. The mountain that stands tall is Carson Peak, it is such a beautiful sight. All the private cabins are located on one side of the lake, the opposite side has Silver Lake Resort. It has a grocery store and restaurant. It's very quaint, great food. They serve breakfast, which they are known for, and lunch. They also run the trailer park, campground, and have their cabins they rent out. It's a great place for families, you can rent motor boats and kayaks. They akso have a horse stable and rent out horses to ride near the resort, they also take people up the mountain where you can camp out for days, they will bring the horses down after leaving you at your campground, then pick you up days later. Great location to travel to Mammoth, Yosemite, Lee Vining and so many wonderful places.

    Nestled in the mountains between Salt Lake City and Park City, Silver Lake is a beautiful recreational area with amazing lake and mountain views, and an easy hiking trail that leads around the lake (about 20-30mins walk, no incline). Perfect for people of all ages and sizes. There is a market and restaurant nearby where you can grab breakfast, as well as public restrooms.

    Have you ever been to a place where you felt like you were in a painting? This one feels like you're in a Bob Ross painting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Ross On our way to Mammoth Lakes during fall season of 2013, we made pits tops along the way to enjoy the many sceneries along the way. Exiting Yosemite Park and driving down the side of the mountain, I found myself marveling at the colors of the trees. They were bright yellow and looked so vibrant against the earth tone surrounding it. As we drove towards Silver Lake, there was a row of these same trees I was marveling at and it felt magical underneath the canopy of bright, vivid colors. I felt all giddy and my heart filled joy driving through that column of trees. I was amazed at the colors because this is not something I am used to. Heck, I live in Daly City, where there's only two seasons: foggy and hot. The lake itself is not that big, but what it lacks in size more than makes up for its beauty against the backdrop of the Sierras. The water is cold and the color of a rich, dark blue that draws you in as it pierces your eyes while you gaze into her spirit. It's peaceful It's beautiful It's relaxing It's breathtaking It cleanses the soul and frees your mind of worry for that instance that you are in her cocoon of rustling leaves, fresh air, swaying trees and all kinds of hues and colors to paint her world of natural beauty. Like Bob Ross used to say, Happy Trees.

    We enjoy visiting this lake, it was so peaceful, and beautiful, it was a couple of our first times visiting here and it was the perfect get away from the city life. We were able to rent a little boat for 7 hours half a day for 50$ which was more than enough time we actually turn in the boat before the 7 hours were up. I can't wait to do this again.

    Beautiful place to visit in October. The autumn colors are just gorgeous, plus the crowds are minimal compared to summer. There were a lot of fishermen near the shore, we decided to walk away and circle the lake. The walk was peaceful and very relaxing. Some picnic tables are sprinkled here and there. The aspen trees make quite a picturesque scene. Visit and feast your eyes.

    I love this lake and the adjoining little breakfast restaurant and market. A great sense of being and community. I stopped by hear in between lakes to fish or to grab a drink from the market. So happy its there.

    The most beautiful place on Earth. So peaceful so calm so relaxing. No matter if you're fishing hiking or just soaking in the natural beauty it is always a great place to be. I've been coming here since I was born and will continue to come here till the day I die.

    Amazing view! Very relaxing

    Just amazing!!!! A place that you always thought you would go when you want to relax. It's seriously spectacular. Nature mountains lake at its best. The view it's beautiful!!! Fishing for some trout. We would see the fish flying out of the water but stayed for an hour and didn't catch nothing. But just amazing to be there and see such a pretty a place! Something you would see in a painting. This is for my books that I would want to visit again. Really no shade so remember to bring some bug spray you will need it.

    GOR-geous. The lake is magnificent, the little town is quaint, the people are very friendly, the air is clean. The only bummer was not having enough time here. I can't wait to come back!

    Come on...nothing much to say, all these lakes are beautiful. Silver lake in May is gorgeous. It was still cold and snow on the ground too.

They had so many prizes, $1.00 per ticket. You didn't win just one prize, you could win four or more depending on the worth of them. It was a great turn out. The food was outstanding. BBQ brisket, potato salad, beans and two rolls. The kids had a great time with two playgrounds, and a bounce house. We will definitely be back next year.

The good: nice big tables, good fire ring, easy access to water and clean restrooms. Area is pretty, and it's close to the lake. The host is very friendly and informative, and sells fire wood. The bear boxes are big and work well. Sites have pull through parking, so it's very easy to park. Most of the sites have decent shade in the daytime. Short walk to gull lake. The bad: sites are not private at all. Sitting in my site, I can see directly into no fewer than 9 other sites. It's also right off the June Lake Loop, which means cars are very audible at all hours. I was also awakened this morning by a helicopter flying very low at 7 am. It has continued running laps all day. The host informed me that they're replacing power poles with more sturdy ones. This is a good thing, but not for campers in 2020! Be warned. Overall, with the exception of the helicopters, this campground is fine. I'm giving it 4 stars because I really can't hold the helicopter noise against the campground.

I hope this email reaches the owner or manager responsible for customer service. We have rented boats on Gull Lake for years and have always had a good experience until this past week. Our first experience was August 18th getting our fishing license with almost zero communication from the two young men in charge. We then rented a pontoon boat on August 22nd and after getting on the boat realized two of us had grease all over our pants due to grease being all over the front seat. When bringing in the boat for a lunch break we asked the young man to clean off the seat for us and he said "sure". Upon our return the seat was still full of grease. There seemed to be zero appreciation or customer service which was so disappointing. I hate negative yelps...pants have been ruined and we are sad to think our rental boat days at Gull will not be in our future.

This site is for tents and not trailers/RV, so yay for us ground campers/RTTs! It's got the perfect front-row view, tucked away just enough to feel private and peaceful, with none of the noise or crowding you get at other spots. If you're lucky enough to snag #6, you won't regret it! *I forgot to mention the restroom, it is quite a long way down to the restroom but we brought our own potty so didn't pay much attention to it. If #6 is already taken, the next best options are sites #7, #8, and #9.
