Crab Lake Conservancy

Advisories

Loading...
Wilderness camping

Wilderness camping is allowed; no facilities are provided. All sites are on a first-come, first-served basis.

Winter camping
There are winter camping opportunities in this conservancy but access may be a problem if the lake is frozen over.
Campfires
Firewood is not provided. If you must have a fire, please burn only dead and down wood, and be sure to fully extinguish the fire when done. Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil so please use it conservatively, if at all. We encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of campfires by using camp stoves instead. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented during extremely hot weather conditions.
Swimming
Swimming is possible in the lake, but the water is cold all year-round. There are no lifeguards on duty in the conservancy.
Canoeing
Adventurous and experienced canoeists or kayakers may enjoy exploring Crab Lake if they can get their boats to the lake.
Kayaking
