     Beaver Creek Campground 1 is a nice campground nearby, and a pleasant visit to Hilgard Basin is a great way to spend an afternoon. This lake is so wonderful. You can never get enough of the tremendous skiing at Big Sky, and if the weather is glorious, you can go for a hike along the Cutoff Trail. A good view of wonderful Dutchman Peak is available from Hilgard Lake, and if you need a location to stay Sawtelle Mountain Resort is a perfect choice. Rock Creek  
   Campground is a glorious local campground, and on a splendid day you can take a hike along the Lightning Creek Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. Not far from Hilgard Lake, you'll hit upon Clear Lake which is a beautiful lake, and Madison River has a magnificent whitewater paddling spot nearby. Man, is there lots of fun things to do right next door to Hilgard Lake. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always take a look at close by Tallus
 
               Lake, and after a long day outdoors Holiday Inn WEST YELLOWSTONE is a good spot to spend a night or two. Summer brings highs in the 80's to Hilgard Lake while night lows are mostly in the 40's. High temperatures during the winter are normally in the 30's, and nighttime lows at Hilgard Lake during the wintertime mostly drop into the 10's.
There is a brilliant hiking trail right next door to Hilgard Lake called the Wapiti Creek Trail; in the event that you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Madison River. Hilgard Lake is pretty dried out commonly; the month with most of the rain is June; the driest month is January.
