Legion Lake Campground

My daughter and a friend will be camping at Legion Lake soon and I was wondering if there are any tips or things to know about the sites there. Especially securness of their stuff if the go touristing or hiking during the day.

Also, any nice hikes near there or easy distance as a day trip? They were wondering about hikes around Sylvan Lake area.

Any tips or hints that I can pass along will be appreciated.

There is a hiking trail that goes around Legion Lake and the Badger Clark cabin trail is on the dam side on the lake.

The Needles Highway has Cathedral Spires Trail %26amp; Little Devil%26#39;s Tower. Little Devil%26#39;s Tower is one of my favorites, not as long as Harney Peak, but you can look across to Harney.

Sylvan Lake also has a trail around it, and the trailhead behind the dam to Sunday Gulch. Also the Harney Peak trail head.

Lock valuables in car. I don%26#39;t know of any problems with leaving camping gear at site, and we tent camp.

Hi Sequim,

I don%26#39;t know if you have seen this yet, but here%26#39;s a link describing some of the trails at Custer SP:

It looks like you can download maps there as well.

I%26#39;m not sure on the security issues, as I haven%26#39;t stayed in Custer SP

Hope the link is helpful to your daughter.
