Relax at a Yellowstone Back Country Lake

Back Country campsite 4D2 - Ice Lake East is a large flat camping area on the east shore of Ice Lake. Only 1.5 miles from the Ice Lake trailhead makes this a great campsite for those just getting in to backpacking. The hike to this campsite is flat the entire way. Site has plenty of room for tents. Site is limited to 8 individuals with a max stay of 3 nights. Bear food storage is by using the provided food pole. Cooking area has a large rock fire ring with large logs to sit on. Nice views of the lake from camp.

Must see

If you’re doing backcountry in the canyon, this site is a must. It was our third night entering from Cascade Creek, but you could also enter at Ice Lake for a much shorter hike. Bring your deet and get ready for a magical night in the trees at the waters edge. There is a ton of space for multiple tents and a great fire pit/bear hang set up. We waded in the water to cool down in the day and slept soundly in the evening. Pack in pack out and must have a permit for overnight. Do yourself a favor and stop here :)
