Leigh Lake offers backcountry campsites accessible by canoe/kayak on the west side of the lake, providing a unique camping experience at the base of Mt. Moran with non-motorized boat access only.

Eastern campsites, including a group site, are accessible via an easy one-mile hiking trail over flat terrain from the Leigh and String Lakes Trailhead.

A short portage from String Lake connects paddlers to Leigh Lake, making it ideal for canoe and kayak camping trips during summer months and early fall.
