About Moss Lake

This is one of our backcountry sites which is a near-wilderness single party site and is accessible only by foot or boat. These sites are first-come, first-served. There is one site on this lake with a fire grate, a latrine and possibly a picnic table. A few reminders: hang food packs, put fires out each time you leave your campsite, treat or boil all water, wash yourself and dishes at least 150ft from any body of water, pack out all garbage and Leave No Trace. Use a Forest Map to locate campsites and accesses. (You can purchase a map on line at http://www.nationalforeststore.com/ or at any of the District offices or by mail.)
