Fourmile Lake is located off Highway 140 near Lake of the Woods. The campground and day use area is at the southern end of Sky Lakes Wilderness area. This rustic campground with few amenities is the place to get away from the modern world. Horse corrals are available in the upper portion of the campground and the proximity to the wilderness and Pacific Crest Trail make it ideal for the backcountry enthusiast. Recreation Visitors to the area will enjoy a variety of activities including hiking, backpacking, climbing, kayaking, canoeing, rafting, horse packing, bird watching, stargazing, fishing, and horse camping. Facilities The campground is equipped with hand-pumped water and stock-loading facilities, picnic tables, campfire rings, vault toilets and boat ramp. Sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Look for improved boat trailer and passenger vehicle parking in boat ramp and day use areas. Please follow directional signage and park in a responsible manner. $7 extra vehicle fee. Natural Features The 113,400-acre Sky Lakes Wilderness occupies the crest of the High Cascades, extending south from the boundary of Crater Lake National Park to Fourmile Lake. The wilderness has gentle, densely forested terrain with occasional steep areas. The name derives from the many small lakes, most of them clustered in several glacial basins near the crest of the Cascade Range. Several species of trees including Shasta red fir, western white pine, mountain hemlock, lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce and whitebark pine are found throughout the area. The forest's understory is dominated by species of huckleberry, as well as manzanita, snowbrush, and heather. Nearby Attractions Lake of the Woods is another nearby lake with USFS facilities and a full service family oriented resort just six miles down the road. Travel along the Volcanic Scenic Byway as you explore the surrounding area. Other stops of interest may include Kla-Mo-Ya Casino (57 miles), Fort Klamath Museum (35 miles), Collier Memorial State Logging Museum (60 miles), Pacific Crest Trail (within 2 miles) and Crater Lake (55 miles).

Great place I pray it's not destroyed or over fished but we will see.
Last time I was there I heard a man talking about how how he's going to say he caught nothing bc he actually got 25 all to himself.
I can't believe there are people like that.
That's why places are ruined.
Great place, took the family camping. Only issue is there is only one water pump. Swimming, hiking, fishing was great.
Great campground!! Bring bug spray especially if you’re not camping lake side. (Lake wind keeps the mosquitoes away)
Dry, windy, and surrounded by dead trees. Sites 29 and 30 are right by the boat ramp; we were woken up everyday at 6am with boats driving in. Most of the trees at our site were cut out and the remaining 100ft trees drastically sway in the wind... only a matter of time before they fall. That being said, the site hosts were very nice, and the hiking trails around four mile lake are fun, yet extremely dusty/full of fallen dead trees. We didn't have to bring firewood, just cut up some of the surrounding. As of writing this, you are allowed to come in and cut your own trees if you are nearby.
