East Bear Lake · group site
Site DEER-1
“Due to current Recreation.gov system limitations, this site is listed as a group site, however the maximum group size is 6 and it does not resemble a group site but rather a very small site. This site is very secluded, a small site, and located on a hilltop. More than one tent on this site is not recommended. The lake is not visible from the site, generally does not have a breeze, and can be very buggy at times. There is no access to hiking trails from the site and is not suitable for backpacking in. The landing is rather weedy and not very good for swimming.”
