Badger Lake lies within the Badger Creek Wilderness area. The campground is surrounded by wilderness. It offers four developed campsites and several additional dispersed sites. Trailers are not allowed on the narrow, rough access road (4860-140). High clearance vehicles are recommended.

Fishing is usually quite good as it is stocked several times a year with 5-6 thousand “keeper size” rainbow trout. Brook Trout also inhabit the lake. There are several trails from the lake area that provide a variety of hiking experiences.
