Visited on 10/2/2017 while driving to give an examination at Owens Valley Conservation Camp. Silver Lake is one of the beautiful lakes on the scenic June Lake Loop. This 97 acre lake is at an elevation of 7,200 feet above sea level and lies in the shadow of 11,000 -12,000 foot mountains in a picturesque alpine basin on the June Lakes Loop, Silver Lake, one of the four lakes located on the June Lake Loop on the Eastern slope of California’s Sierra Nevada, boasts world-class fishing, camping, hiking, and boating. There is a cool little resort on the west side of the lake. Silver Lake is picture perfect with the fall leaves and like the other lakes on the June Lake Loop, Silver Lake is known for its Trout fishing. This area also offers stream fishing in Reversed Creek. Great hiking in this area as well, Rush Creek Trail begins at the north end of the lake and interconnects with both the Pacific Crest and John Muir Trails. I saw several hikers going for a short afternoon stroll crossing the road. There is also backcountry backpacking in this area since the Ansel Adams Wilderness and Yosemite National Park are nearby. Silver Lake has a great campground located on the west side of the shoreline. Silver lake is located off California State Route 158, on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
