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.
