Our recent trip to Gull Lake was a beautiful experience. I have been coming to June Lake ever since I was little, and had yet to explore the gem that is Gull Lake. Of the four main lakes in the June Lake Loop, Gull is the smallest; a factor that sometimes causes me to overlook it. Well if any of you have felt the same way, hopefully this post will help change your mind!
It is about a 2 mile loop around the lake, a
perfect nature walk for all ages and skill levels! My wife and I hiked it in sandals 🙂
Â

We started off on the West side of the Lake. About a quarter mile into the hike, we found my favorite attraction on the trail…
Â

…a rope swing!! The water was definitely brisk, but so refreshing!
Â

After drying off, we hiked along a little further. Along parts of Gull Lake are several camp grounds and picnic benches in beautiful locations. Not a bad place for a pit stop.
Â

The trail takes you around a big golden field on the Northwest side of Gull Lake. The picture doesn’t even come close to doing it justice!
Â

While hiking around Gull Lake you are bound to run into a couple of deer!
Â

The light coming through the valley was so beautiful in the afternoon.
Â

Between June Lake and Gull Lake is called Interlaken. There is a tennis court, basketball court, playground for the kids, and this awesome fire pit!
Â

Oh, yeah. There is great fishing on Gull Lake as well 🙂
