About
Noisy Creek Campground is located at the south end of Sullivan Lake, approximately 90 miles north of Spokane and just 20 miles from the US-Canada border. The campground offers 19 individual campsites and one group site, all with picnic tables and fire rings. Sites are set back from the lake among western larch, aspen, and cottonwood trees. Two major hiking trails are accessible directly from the campground. The Lakeshore Trail, a designated National Scenic Trail, runs 4.2 miles along the eastern shore with lake viewpoints. The Noisy Creek Trail follows the creek for two miles before ascending Hall Mountain. Sullivan Lake covers 1,291 acres with depths reaching 320 feet, supporting burbot and Kokanee salmon fishing. Wildlife viewing is excellent in the area. The Hall Mountain bighorn sheep herd occasionally passes through the campground, and black bears, cougars, and bobcats inhabit the surrounding forest. Nearby attractions include Crawford State Park with Gardiner Cave tours and Seattle City Light's Boundary Hydroelectric Project tours.
