Browne Lake Group Sites

Browne Lake Group Sites are located next to their namesake lake in a high mountain meadow, at an elevation of 8,200 feet. Visitors enjoy fishing, canoeing and exploring miles of hiking and ATV trails. Fishing for rainbows, brook trout and kokanee salmon is popular at Browne Lake, as is canoeing and other non-motorized boating. Several ATV and hiking trails are in the immediate area, and the Leidy Peak Trailhead is within the campground. Sheep Creek Lake, with cutthroat and brook trout fishing, is nearby. The campground consists of four accessible group sites that accommodate up to 40 people each, containing picnic tables and campfire circles. Single-family sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Vault toilets are provided. Roads and parking spurs are dirt, and the campground is accessed via a well-maintained dirt road. The campground is partially shaded by pines and aspens, and summer wildflowers dot the surrounding grassy meadows. The lake is visible from most of the sites and a short trail leads to its shore. Numerous scenic driving routes on maintained dirt roads crisscross the area around Browne Lake, providing miles of trails for ATVs, hikers and mountain bikers, leading to reservoirs and lakes, overlooks, forests, meadows and historic sites. Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area is known not only for its beautiful red cliffs but for world-class fishing for lake, brown and rainbow trout, along with boating, water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and scuba diving. Flaming Gorge Dam offers guided tours of the working hydroelectric plant and the dam itself, and the adjacent visitor center contains area history exhibits. The Green River below the dam provides spectacular rafting, with unique geology, outlaw history and Native American rock art along the way.
