Anthony Lake Campground

Anthony Lake Campground offers a small concrete boat ramp on the east side of Anthony Lake in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, located approximately 25 miles north of Baker City via Highway 30 and Forest Road 73. The ramp accommodates electric motor and non-motorized watercraft, making it ideal for kayakers and canoeists. The nearby Mud Lake Campground (reservable through Recreation.gov) provides camping options, with sites ranging from forested areas to open meadow settings. For specific questions about Anthony Lake facilities, contact the ranger district at (541) 856-3277 ext. 114.

The boat launch area sits conveniently near the Anthony Lakes Tent Campground on the southern end of the lake, allowing easy access for campers planning to paddle or fish. The single-lane ramp is modest in size, so plan accordingly if visiting during peak times. This high-elevation mountain lake offers scenic views of the surrounding conifer forests and is a good option for a day paddle or multi-day camping and paddling adventure in the Little Alps area.
