Summary

A backcountry permit is required (no reservations for this specific site; first-come, first-served via permit system), and there are no fees beyond the park entrance and backcountry permit. Campsites include pit toilets and food storage poles; however, there’s no potable water—treat lake or stream water. No fire rings, fires are prohibited. No RV access or hookups. The lake is nestled in a tranquil alpine forest setting with stunning lakeside views. Best accessed via the Boundary Trail; late summer is ideal for clearer trails and bug-free evenings.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
