Sprague Lake Camp (Handicap Accessible)

Due to rapidly changing conditions associated with the mountain pine beetle infestation and resulting dead trees that pose potential hazards, our requirements and regulations associated with camp sites and camping are also changing rapidly. Contact the Backcountry Office (970-586-1242) for current conditions, site availability, and regulations and requirements.
