贝克湖 and 湖香农

The Baker River Basin

One of the Pacific Northwest's most scenic forest and mountain landscapes, the Baker River Basin is located in the Cascade Mountains in northwest Washington. Here, on a tributary of the Skagit River, the two dams of our Baker River Hydroelectric Project form two picturesque reservoirs, 贝克湖 and 湖香农.

Nature lovers enjoy a variety of recreational activities in the area around the lakes, 包括徒步旅行, 野营, 狩猎, 钓鱼, swimming and winter sports. The easily accessible area features observation viewpoints, interpretation facilities and many opportunities for studying nature.

贝克湖

Nine-mile-long 贝克湖 sits on the Baker River about eight miles north of Concrete, Wash., just off the North Cascades Highway (SR 20). 将它映射.

The area offers several amenities. There are several developed campgrounds including PSE’s Kulshan Campground with dry sites open seasonally from the second week of May to September 30. Kulshan Campground provides approximately 108 tent and RV sites available on a first-come-first-served basis. There are five boat launches located along the lake’s western shore available for public use.

The 贝克湖 Trail extends along the eastern shoreline for eight miles before crossing the Baker River at the lake's north end. You can find the 312-foot-high Upper Baker Dam and West Pass Dike at the south end of the lake.

湖香农

With densely forested hills and rugged ridges, 湖香农 extends seven miles northward from nearby Concrete. Lower Baker Dam rises 285 feet and spans a narrow, steep-sided gorge at the south end of 湖香农. 将它映射.

Road access is limited. PSE's public boat launch on the eastern shore currently provides the only developed amenity on the reservoir. Informal recreational activities such as hiking and 钓鱼 are permitted, except where otherwise posted.
