Black Lake Campground & Day Use Area
Black Lake Campground provides primitive tent sites on the east shore of Black Lake located in the Hood River Ranger District. The area accesses nearby Black Lake Trail. The trail network in this area enters Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness to the north. This area is primitive and less visited than more developed sites. You must pack in and pack out. Please leave no trace !
