Lewey Lake

Located at the southern tip of Long Lake, Lewey Lake is a 2 1/2 mile “quiet water” lake protected by the mountains of the West Canada Lake Wilderness to the east. It is home to the Lewey Lake Campground, and you will either have to camp there, get a day use pass, or have an Empire Passport to explore this lake.

Lewey Lake Campground

Yesterday, I walked around the Lewey Lake Campground looking at birds and taking in the scenery. While the roadside information sign suggests there are hiking trails, I didn't see a lot but there were a lot of common birds in the campground -- blue jays, robins, red-winged black birds. But boy where those campsites packed in tight -- nothing like the wilderness camping I'm used to a few miles down the road at Mason Lake and Perkins Clearing.

Lewey Lake

I've never spent much time exploring Lewey Lake. But yesterday I walked around the campground. I wasn't that impressed with the campground, but the lake was interesting to see.

Lewey Lake

Lewey Lake

Sitting down by one of the campsites watching the storm roll by.

Taken on Sunday May 16, 2021 at Lewey Lake.

Walked a bit around the Lewey Lake Campground

Walked a bit around the Lewey Lake Campground. Not my cup of tea but I guess city folk like the packed in way of camping. I much prefer the wild and more free wilderness camping. I don’t need no government minder to hold my hand. The quarter mile distance between sites in the wilderness is nice – no quiet hours, no restrictions on guns, you have your privacy.
