     This lake is so wonderful. If you came for an overnight stay Lake Creek Campground is a magnificent spot to camp, and going for a hike on the Crazy Mountain Trail is always a glorious adventure. Otter Lake is a beautiful lake in the Absaroka Range. Otter Lake gets a typical amount of yearly rainfall; most of the rain falls during June, and the driest month of the year is October.
Camping is available at Crazy Creek Campground, and there are wonderful
 
   places to discover along the Lake Reno Trail. You believe that's enough? Just getting warmed up. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always visit nearby Triangle Lake, and don't leave Otter Lake without first going for a hike along the Crazy Lakes Trail. You can run the rapids of Clarks Fork Yellowstone River close to Otter Lake, and you'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Red Lodge Mountain since you're here.
And that's
 
               not all there is to do here in the Absaroka Range. There's whitewater on Clarks Fork Yellowstone for all you adrenaline people. Lakes are wonderful; Rock Tree Lake is a lake that's in close proximity to Otter Lake. The warmest time of the year at Otter Lake arrives with high temperatures in the 70's, and the nighttime is a bit chillier of course, commonly in the 30's.

Hunter Peak Campground

My family went camping at Hunter Peak Campground for many summers when I was a teenager. We stayed at the very large two family campsite, the deepest if I remember right next to the path taking you to the bridge. My grandparents now rest there forever and so do my memories of childhood. I look forward to taking my family there one day, keeping with those wonderful family lines....

Black Canyon is a beautiful lake but it is not a ''fun stop'' nor is beartooth glacier. Be prepared for high winds and a serious workout getting there. NOT FOR INEXPERIENCED HIKERS....
