Paddle boarders and kayakers find direct access to an alpine lake at Worthen Meadow Campground, where fish jump regularly and the Upper Brewers trail begins at the main parking lot. This US Forest Service campground operates from June through September in Shoshone National Forest, with sites positioned close to the water's edge but spaced relatively tight together.
The rough access road requires a sturdy vehicle, as multiple campers note the challenging drive conditions. Sites include trees suitable for hammock setup, and the campground provides drinking water, maintained pit toilets, and trash service. Walking trails circle the lake, while wildflowers bloom into July at this elevation. Carrie C. notes "lots of trees to hitch up the hammock, too" among the lakeside sites.
Generator noise can be an issue when groups gather, though the location maintains relative quiet during less busy periods. The campground prohibits pets and offers fishing opportunities directly from the shoreline. Larger RVs may find maneuvering challenging given the tight site spacing and rough access conditions.
Campers can explore additional campgrounds around Lander for alternative base camps when planning extended stays in the area. The elevation and seasonal access make this a summer-only destination for those seeking direct water access.
