Browns Lake

Sunday 9/20/20 got there early in the morning four campers in the bottom section. One camping out of the vehicle other 3 where tents. One TT and one truck camper on the upper area. One boat fisherman fishing close to shore there was a stiff wind blowing out of the north. 

We had a friend stay there two days before and suggested we take a look at it for a meeting place next year for fishing. Yes we would take our TT there for sure. Good road coming off Hwy 200 but you need to be looking for the turn off sign it comes up on you real fast at the top of the hill. The turn off is between mile maker 54 - 53 to the west.

Browns Lake Fishing Access Site Campground is located on the 459 acre Browns Lake. This fishing access campground has 14 sites all with metal fire rings and picnic tables. The site is serviced by two vault toilets. This is a dry campground so bring water. This is also a trash-in trash-out campground. The campground is fairly exposed and tends to be windy during the summer. We visited in early June and were amazed by all the birds in the area. The real draw for this campground is the fishing. Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks stocks this lake with over 50,000 rainbow trout per year….that's right 50,000. The lake is known for large rainbow trout and 10 pounders in the spring are apparently not a fish story. The lake also has Brook Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, Kokanee, and Longnose suckers. So grab your tent and fishing pole, because with 50,000 trout being added every year a trout dinner has to be on the menu.
