About This Access Site
Browne Lake is a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats in Daggett County, Utah. The lake is 44 acres and located at an elevation of 8,200 feet, offering scenic views of the surrounding mountain landscape.

The lake is accessible via a public boat ramp, making it easy to launch small watercraft. Anglers can fish for stocked rainbow and brook trout, as well as kokanee salmon. Beyond the lake, the nearby Carter Creek also offers opportunities to paddle and fish for trout.

The Browne Lake Group Sites campground is located next to the lake, providing convenient access for boaters and paddlers. The campground is reservable, so visitors should check availability and plan accordingly. Those looking for additional camping options can find two other campgrounds within 10 miles of the Browne Lake boat ramp.
