Description

Laurance Lake was created in 1969 when a rock and earth dam was constructed for the Middle Fork Irrigation District across the Clear Branch of the Hood River. The lakes average surface area is about 160 acres.

Laurance Lake is seasonally stocked with Rainbow Trout and also has a sensitive population of native Bull Trout.

Laurance Lake Campground features campsites, restrooms and garbage dumpsters, making it a handy stop for hikers on the road to the Elk Cove Trailhead and the Pinnacle Ridge Trailhead.
