Louis Lake

Louis Lake's boat ramp is conveniently located near the campground information and registration area, making it an accessible launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters exploring this scenic high-country lake in the southern Wind River Mountains near Lander. The ramp provides straightforward water access for paddlers looking to explore the lake and its outlet into Louis Creek.

The area offers excellent camping opportunities, with Louis Lake Campground providing nine sites around the lake and at the outlet of Louis Creek. The surrounding landscape features marshy terrain and abundant wildlife viewing, particularly around the inlet area. With a 16-day stay limit, maximum spur length of 24 feet, and bear-proof food storage requirements, the campground supports an extended paddling trip if desired. The site sits within easy reach of historic attractions like South Pass City State Historic Site and the scenic Sinks Canyon area, offering paddlers additional recreation options during their visit.
