Camp Lake (located at 57°2′N 135°5′W / 57.033°N 135.083°W) is a small snow-melt and rain-fed lake that feeds into the Blue Lake watershed on Baranof Island in the Alexander Archipelago in the Alaskan Panhandle. Camp Lake is a popular destination for the first night on the Baranof Cross-Island Trail due to its surrounding alpine meadow and the beautifully clear nature of the lake. Camp Lake sits between Bear Mountain and Mount Bassie and atop a small headwall on the Medvejie Lake valley, although the lake drains into the Blue Lake watershed.
[edit] Name
Camp Lake is not named on USGS maps. In his book on hunting, Les Yaw names the lake "Camper's Lake".[1]
