Scott Lake
About Scott Lake
This hidden treasure is a photographer 's paradise. The high elevation, primitive campground sits on picturesque and pristine Scott Lake. On clear days, catch stunning views of the snowcapped volcanic peaks of the Three Sisters as they cast their reflection on the serene lake. Be prepared for heavy mosquitoes in July and August. A forest of subalpine fir, mountain hemlock, and bear grass surround the lake. The campground is next to Benson/Tenas Trailhead and access to the Mt. Washington Wilderness is close by.
