     Just can't get enough of Emerald Lake. Black Imp is easy to spot from Emerald Lake, and Emerald Lake is tremendous enough to spend more than a day at, Huckleberry Campground is a tremendous local campground. The Wallowa Mountains scenery is always beautiful. Near Emerald Lake you locate fine places like Joes Gap; if you've had enough of Emerald Lake, Crystal Lake is close by.
This lake is so wonderful. Little Salmon River has a good whitewater paddling
 
   spot nearby, and if you came to camp Black Lake Campground is a perfect location to do that. At Emerald Lake through the summer highs are in the 90's while overnight lows are usually in the 50's. Daytime highs throughout the wintertime are in the 40's with temperatures at Emerald Lake dipping down into the 20's during winter nights. You just can't imagine the amount of outdoors exciting things the Wallowa Mountains has to offer. In case you don’t mind getting drenched,

Emerald Lake is not the only site close by, Satan Lake is a close by lake, and the Deep Creek Trail offers hiking at its best. This lake is so wonderful.

When we were there in September the water was very low.We didnt have to much luck fishing but I seen a couple people that caught one or two. It's a nice little lake but has a lot of bees and cattle were running all through the camp grounds. We even had a bull that was throwing up dirt and stomping his feet like he wanted to charge us. I don't know why in a forestry campground they would allow this where people camp. Anyway if you can put up with that go for it.We wont be going back....
