Rugged, beautiful little crescent lake

One of our families all time favorites if you can get there early enough to get a spot! Only 1 site on the lake shore, 2-3 other sites scattered along the road in not as ideal but not that far. Great hiking just a little drive away along an old forest service road.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Marshall Lake located in Montana?

Marshall Lake is located in western Montana, nestled in a forested area accessible via a Forest Service road. The lake is situated in a scenic mountain setting, making it a peaceful destination for outdoor enthusiasts. While the exact GPS coordinates aren't specified, the lake is positioned in a relatively remote area that requires some planning to reach. Contact the local Forest Service office for specific directions as road conditions may vary seasonally.

What facilities are available at Marshall Lake Campground?

Marshall Lake Campground is a small, rustic camping area with limited facilities. There are only a handful of campsites available - approximately 4-5 sites total, with just one premium site located directly on the lakeshore. The other sites are scattered along the access road, still within reasonable distance to the lake. This is a primitive campground, so visitors should be prepared for a basic camping experience. Bring all necessary supplies including water, as potable water is not available on-site.

Is dispersed camping allowed at Marshall Lake?

Marshall Lake primarily offers designated camping spots rather than true dispersed camping. The campground has about 4-5 established sites, including one prime spot on the lakeshore and several others along the access road. These sites fill up quickly, especially on weekends and during peak season, so arriving early is recommended to secure a spot. For true dispersed camping options, check with the local Forest Service office about regulations for the surrounding forest areas away from the immediate lake vicinity.

What recreational activities can visitors enjoy at Marshall Lake?

Marshall Lake offers several recreational opportunities for visitors. The pristine lake is ideal for fishing, swimming, and paddling during warmer months. Hiking trails are available in the surrounding area, with some great options just a short drive away along an old Forest Service road. Wildlife viewing and photography are also popular activities in this scenic mountain setting. The peaceful environment makes it perfect for relaxation and connecting with nature.
