Wrights Lake Access

Wrights Lake Access provides entry to a 40-acre alpine lake at 7,000 feet elevation in Eldorado National Forest, offering a non-motorized boat ramp and day-use area for paddlers and anglers.

The campground features vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, and bear-proof food lockers, with nearby trailheads providing access to Desolation Wilderness hiking.

Swimming and trout fishing are popular activities, though visitors should note the narrow access road from Ice House Road and plan accordingly during peak summer season.
