     This lake is so wonderful. Paddling on Salmon River is so much fun; if you're here at Camp Lake it's a pleasant idea to check out Tenlake Basin. Camp Lake gets a normal amount of rain; of all the months in a year January is the one with the most snow; July is when it's the driest. That right there is loads of enjoyable things already but it goes on, the Sawtooth Range has it all. Soldier Mountain Ski Resort has nice slopes and a friendly staff, and you can have  
   a good hiking adventure along the Bull Moose Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. There's so much to do here at Camp Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Powerplant Campground is a splendid location for that. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Camp Lake has to offer, you can camp at Alturas Inlet Campground. This is no site for people who don’t like to have fun. If the weather is brilliant here at Camp Lake, you can go for a hike along
 
               the Yuba River Trail, and obviously, this is a tremendous area for people who like lakes, Heart Lake is a lake close by.
Camp Lake is in a wonderful location in the shadow of the Sawtooth Range, and Salmon River has a fine whitewater paddling spot close by. The Sawtooth Range scenery is always beautiful. High temperatures at Camp Lake during the summertime months are in the 80's. For the period of the moonlight hours it's mostly in the 40's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 30's; winter nights come with lows in the 10's to Camp Lake.
Going for a hike along the Yellow Belly Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always go to close by Vernon Lake. Be careful coming to the Sawtooth Range, you might not ever want to return home again. A great panorama of beautiful Glens Peak is available from Camp Lake, and why not take a little visit to Flytrip Creek if you're here.

Hell Roaring Lake
Hi, we (wife and I) walked into the lake the 3rd week of July 2008; we took the unmaintained road to about 200 yards from the trailhead. If you take this in lieu of the walk in, plan on a 40 minute drive to cover 5-miles; your vehicle (should be high-center 4-wd) will get scratched up from the branches adjacent to the road. The parking lot holds 6-vehicles...if you encounter another vehicle coming at you, there are very few areas where you can back into/get off the road to let the other pass; it is a 'long way' to back up on a challenging road. To get to the trail head from the parking lot, you will ford 2-branches of the river/stream (10 ? 20? across)...walk across deadfall with the aid of a walking stick...or walk thru the water...just below the knee. We walked in on a tuesday and encountered 15+ people coming/going on the path. Easy 2-mile walk, many mosquitoes...quicker coming back....

Elk Lake
Elk lake is approximately 12 miles from the Grandjean campground. You can not reach it by car. The trail has mild elevation gain and parallels the river during many sections. There are no designated campgrounds at elk lake however 3 spots have obvious use. Deer and elk are commonly viewed near the lake, especially in the early morning or near dusk....
