View Vicinity Map Recommended Maps & Books Share With a Friend
Description: 7100-foot elevation. 37 campsites, including 21 tent-only sites on
forested Anthony Lake, with spectacular views of Gunsight Peak.
Fishing in the lakes for trout; wheelchair-accessible fishing
pier.
Anthony Lakes is a great base camp for exploring the Blue Mountains
and the North Fork John Day Wilderness. From the campground, hikers
can follow the jeep trail to the Lakes Lookout trailhead. From the
summit of Lees Peak, you can see the Anthony Lakes scattered across
the flanks of the Blue Mountains; Grande Ronde, Patten, Black,
Crawfish, Mud, and Hoffer Lakes. Other area hikes lead to Crawfish
Lake, at the edge of the wilderness, and a longer hike from Elkhorn
Crest, which climbs Gunsight Peak, then follows the ridge of the
mountain range southwest into the wilderness. All the trails are open
to horses; the Elkhorn Crest trailhead has a stock loading ramp. The
Elkhorn Crest trail is also open to mountain bikers and ATV
users.
In the winter, Anthony Lakes becomes a winter sports playground, with
downhill skiing, Nordic skiing and snowmobiling all available in the
area. The nearby Chicken Hill ATV area is also open to snowmobiling.
Hunting for pheasant, bear, deer and elk.
Location: From Baker City, go 10 miles northwest on US 30, 14 miles northwest on County Road 1146, then 7 miles west on Forest Road 73.
