Beautiful spot.West end of the Lake had plenty of trout. Best fishing we experienced on our trip. Campground located at the west end.

Visited this canyon before in summer. Came back in fall strictly for colors, and what a show it was!There are picnic benches at the end of the road. You can hike a short distance to Lundy Lake, or you can go beyond and grind your way up to Yosemite. Photos enclosed.

I first camped at Lundy with my parents in 1938. The resort was owned and operated by the Miller family and the folks who braved the five mile dirt road were the same each year...like a large extended family. Fishing was always good and in those days the limit was 25. One could still wander the old ruins of Chinatown, now camping sites, and hike uninhibited throughout the canyon. There were still active mines in the area. My first fishing rod was a gift from Nellie Bly who ran the Happy Landing Resort next to the Millers...for some reason they didn't get along and never spoke. Nellie lived in the canyon year round even when snowed in through the winter. Once a visitor always a lover of the place.

We have made many visits to Lundy Lake for fishing and boating. Both are stellar experiences. We have also gone hiking from Lundy Lake to the higher elevation lakes - its very scenic.In regards to the fall, Lundy area hangs spectacular fall colors. When the aspens change colors to fall colors, its absolutely breathtaking. During those periods you might see some more photographers in the area.In general, its fairly quiet in this area and makes for an enjoyable day.The road to Lundy Lake is just north of Mono Lake area (by Lee Vining). From 395 the road is on the western side of highway 395.

My family has been camping here every year. I am a 4th generation camper here. Leo who works in the store and around the resort is amazing. He's so friendly and helpful. Sue the owner is also a really great person. She's really friendly and just a nice person. I enjoy seeing Sue and Leo every year. They truly make a difference. I will continue to come here every year, as it is my favorite place to vacation. Can't wait to visit again in August.

Lake Lundy provides a fantastic place to fish. Over the years I have fished at Lundy many times. There is always a breeze and it keeps the mosquitoes away during that time of the year. Sometimes the water level changes. If you are able to walk down the trail, work your way out to the point on the left side of the lake. That would be, looking out at the lake from the parking lot. Power bait works great. With that kind of bait and location, you will catch plenty of fish.

This is still the most beautiful and amazing place I've seen . Piece of my heart lies here . Been coming here since I was little and always takes my breath away

It used to be fun to come up here and fish. But now it's horrible. The photographers are everywhere and they're all so RUDE and NASTY! They park their cars IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! They set up their tripods IN THE ROAD! They block everything and talk too much. One even left his car running and he was burning diesel fuel! And every year it gets worse and worse. They're RUINING this place. I wish they'd all go away forever.

Angling for trout is very popular here, although we' re not into it ourselves. The scenic views, including the yellow leaves on the deciduous trees, were fantastic.

The trail from the end of the road to the waterfalls is less than 2 1/2 mies and is pretty easy (just a few creeks to jump over and some rocks to negotiate). It is absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful Lake outside Lee Vining just perfect for that family fishing spot. A gradual sloping shoreline lined with trees giving amble room to spread out and accommodate everyone in the family. Bait fishing or with lures, we love to stop by every year to try our luck for Rainbow trout. Also available, plenty of hiking trails to get in that afternoon workout, included with some spectacular views. Nice way to spend a few hours or entire day. Keep your eyes open - last time here we had some deer come down to the lake for a drink. Camping facilities are just below the lake if needed. Take the road all the way to the end and visit the Lundy Store. They are great for information and can answer all your questions.

Lundy Lake is at the beginning of Lundy Canyon - one of the most spectacular in the Sierra. Mono County operates a campground on leased land near the mouth of the canyon. Good Hiking, great waterfalls, nice campsites etc.

I stopped at the Lundy Lake store and am glad I took the time. They told me where the trail head was. I hiked about 2 hours and saw many waterfalls, some cascading before turning around. Definitely a hike to do in this area.

This is a beautiful lake you can access by road. No hiking. There is a small dam, but it doesn't detract from the beauty of this alpine lake. Aspen provide some shade on one side of the lake, and there is a clean chemical bathroom by the parking area. Gravel beach, and then there is the great view. This is also the trailhead for the Lundy Lake trail. I haven't done it because it is a steep unshaded climb. But there is a pretty waterfall back there and it connects to the 20 lakes in the Hoover lake wildness area. Gold power bait works best. Pack a lunch, and enjoy the wilderness.

Be sure to catch the Ranger walk on Fridays at 10AM... Lundy Canyon is full of history, wildlife, flora, and beauty. There are hikes galore that star from here, great fishing and picnicking spots. If you love the Eastern Sierras, Lundy Canyon epitomizes all that you love
