History & Nature

Located in the White Mountains, the lake is the perfect escape from the heat of the summer. The 154-acre impoundment of the upper San Francisco River is abundant with trout. The lake is accessible year-round, but ices over in the winter. Ice fishing is usually available, but check conditions before hitting the ice.

Things to Do

While you’re here, you’ll want to make some time for fishing. This lake holds the record for the largest cutthroat trout in the state at 6 pounds, 5 ounces. Don’t forget your pole!

There’s excellent rainbow and cutthroat trout fishing to be had and the nearby forest and wetlands offer fantastic wildlife viewing. To observe waterfowl, keep your eyes peeled on the upper end of the lake.

Hotels, Lodging & Camping

Luna Lake Campground includes 40 camping sites, three group sites, picnic tables, restrooms, and drinking water. There’s also a small store near the dam that sells drinks, snacks, and fishing equipment. The White Mountains also offer a variety of lodging and campgrounds in the area that are conveniently located near amenities and outdoor attractions.
