About Swift Creek Campground
Overview Swift Creek Campground is tucked into a mixed-conifer forest at the edge of Baker Lake in Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Recreation In addition to being a prime location for hiking, boating, fishing, picnicking, and horseback riding in summer and early fall, Swift Creek offers opportunities for snowshoeing in the winter months. With a small beach on-site and access to Baker Lake, visitors will have plenty of opportunities to fish, kayak, canoe and swim. The nearby Baker Lake Trail is a family friendly hike that begins in a majestic stand of Douglas fir. In 1843, a small eruption of Mt. Baker caused a forest fire, and visitors can still see the burned snags of virgin cedar trees that once dominated the area. The trail contours above the eastern shoreline of Baker Lake. Facilities Swift Creek offers campsites that accommodate either tents or RVs. There are two group sites that are reservable as well. Drinking water and vault toilets are available. The campground also has a day-use area at the lake's edge, equipped with picnic tables and grills. There is a boat ramp and a marina on site. Natural Features The Mt.
