Browne Lake Campground
Browne Lake Campground is located next to a small lake on the north side of the Uinta mountains. The campground is accessed via a well-maintained dirt road. Browne Lake offers boating and fishing in Browne Lake. Check fishing season information and regulations. The campground is partially shaded by pines and aspens and sunny sagebrush meadows. Summer wildflowers dot the surrounding grassy meadows. The lake is visible from most of the sites and a short trail leads to its shore. Only group sites are reservable. Water at the campground is not potable. Gravel, narrow road that can get rough and slick when wet. Use caution and travel slowly. Children should be closely supervised because of near-by stream and lake. Also, easy to get lost in heavily wooded areas.
