Otokomi Lake Campground

First photo on alltrails is not otokomi lake. It's a view of St Mary's lake from the trail. Very pretty hike in fall. Hiked out in the evening and got to the shale pass in the dark which was pretty scary. Remote campsite with bear pole and pit toilet. Campsites are 5min walk to the lake but are mostly protected from the wind. Definitely bring hiking poles for the shale pass at the end of the hike. We were told grizzlies frequent the area but did not see any. Park at rising Sun picnic site across the street from the trailhead. My watch clocked 5.92mi each way.

We camped here in late June and the campsite was unusably buggy. Bug spray was completely ineffective. It was impossible to enjoy the lake or even brush our teeth or cook dinner. The view from the lake was very pretty but the campsite conditions completely ruined it. Ended the trip with 40+ bug bites each.

This was the prettiest campsite we stayed at on our week long trip in glacier! The wind coming off the mountain cove was strong. The lake was beautiful and there were lots of critters running around the lake and campsite. Hike up wasn't too bad, the trail was listed at 5.2 miles but our GPS said 5.8 to the lake. There was a group coming down as we went up that saw a bear, signs were posted for bear frequenting but we didn't see any. Took about 3 hours to get up to the lake with a 40 lbs pack but only 2 hours coming down. The river on the way to the lake is beautiful with lots of waterfalls that you can see from the trail.

Went out and camped here with my buddy in late July. They hike out was a little harder than the hike back. Went for a swim in the lake. Saw some little squirrel like creatures playing by the lake side when I stayed quiet for a bit. The mosquitoes were pretty intense, bring bug spray. Ran into a moose (sleeping on the trail) on our way out. It was a wonderful experience

Beautiful lake. Saw lots of wildlife. Great lake for fishing
