Kintla Lake

This was back from when we visited in September of 2025. The road going up to the lake is gravel. The view is beautiful. There's not a lot of places to sit by the Lakeshore but there are some spots. If you're looking for a nice drive with spot to search your legs I would recommend visiting the lake. If you're going to visit this lake definitely check out Bowman lake as well. We did not camp at this location but it was pretty clean. It offered basic camping.

Down a long, one lane, dusty dirt road through forest and meadow, lies a lake near the most remote corner of GNP, and it is pretty! The campground was full yet quiet, except near the lake, and the restrooms were surprisingly pleasant. The water was clear and cold, and the lake bed was covered in pebbles that were great for skipping on the glassy surface!

This one of the most pristine lakes I have ever seen or stepped foot in. Kintla Lake is well worth the 15 mile dirt road drive. The drive is pretty scenic and an adventure through meadows and evergreen forests with a mountain backdrop.. I would recommend Kintla Lake over Bowman Lake. It is more secluded and less crowded. The view is also better. I visited in August 2021.

Very beautiful and remote. Limited parking available so get here early. We had to wait for 30 minutes until someone left. Great place to get away from the huge crowds of Apgar village. It is a slow going, long drive and one lane road. One camper said they caught a few lake trout.

Beautiful, peaceful, and an adventure getting there. What’s not to love? The lake is blue and pretty clear. The vast majority of the tourists don’t make it this far. The road is a very rough gravel road that will beat your vehicle to death but it was worth it. A 4x4 is nice but not needed. I thought having some ground clearance was an absolute but saw a minivan and a few small cars up there so it can be done. The campground is remote and small but perfect in that it’s in such a peaceful place. I hate to tell people how beautiful it is because you do t want it to get busy and touristy. Also visit Polebridge and the little store Polebridge Mercantile before heading to the lake. It has a very cool vibe and the local snacks are made in the community right next door with local ingredients.
