From Baker City head north on Highway 30 toward Haines approximately 10 miles; In Haines turn left and follow the Anthony Lake Highway signs (turns into Forest Road 73) for 25 miles to the Anthony Lake Recreation Area. Turn left into the Anthony Lake Campground. The main campground is on the east side of the lake.
Great views, great trails kayaking and fishing also camping if its not all reserved. Can't wait to see it in the winter there is also a ski lodge up there amazing runs tlld to us by some lodge workers.
Half off Thursday's to ski In the winter.
Winter yurt rental. With the wood stove going, it's warmer than you think. Firewood is provided. Cozy with all the amenities needed for cooking and board games to keep you occupied as there is no cell service out there. A large igloo full of drinking water is provided. There is a pit toilet for taking care of business. The yurt is on the Nordic trail just a short way from the ski lodge. The mattresses on the bunk beds are comfy. DO bring a winter sleeping bag!
Great family campground. We tent camped here with no issues. Spacious camp spots with lots of space between neighboring camp sites. Clean bathrooms. No showers that we found. Lake is nice - okay for swimming. Lots of trail heads off the campground for short day hikes. Highly recommend. Pro tip - do the Crawfish Lake hike. Go past the ski resort, several miles (it’s on the left and we’ll marked) (don’t go to the Crawdad Gulch the first one you come across- keep driving another mile or so) Great swimming at Crawdad Lake and scenic very 1.5 mile hike.
