Lying in the shadow of Mt. Ritter in a picturesque alpine basin on the June Lakes Loop, Grant Lake is an outdoorsman’s dream. The lake boasts abundant fishing, camping, waterskiing and wake boarding. Grant is the second largest of four lakes located on the loop, and is actually a reservoir for the Los Angeles aquaduct system. Because the lake acts as a water supply, water levels can vary dramatically throughout the year.
