Grande Ronde Lake Campground

Grande Ronde Lake is a scenic high-elevation lake in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, situated along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway near the Anthony Lakes Recreation Area. The access site features a boat launch, day-use parking area, and amenities including tables with grills and water access. This is an excellent destination for kayakers and canoeists seeking a quieter paddling experience, with the small lake offering good opportunities for wildlife viewing, including osprey and bald eagles.

The lake is stocked annually with rainbow trout and is surrounded by scenic forest at high elevation. A single-track trail circles the lake for those interested in combining paddling with hiking. The facility is less crowded than the main Anthony Lakes Campground nearby, making it ideal for paddlers wanting a peaceful outing. Vehicle access accommodates rigs up to 27 feet.
