HARBOR LAKE CAMPSITES:
Campsite 1 (#1745) - Located near the south end of the lake
Campsite 2 (#1746) - Campsite is just west of the North Wilder Lake portage (probably closed)

Harbor Lake is accessible from the Powwow Trail by following the portage between North Wilder Lake and Harbor Lake from the intersection of the two trails. You can also reach Harbor Lake coming from Lake One. The portages between Lake One and Harbor Lake are all open now (2024). They had been closed for a while after the 2011 Pagami Creek Fire. Nearly the entire shoreline was burned by this fire. The portage to Brewis Lake is near the west end of the lake on the south shoreline.

Harbor Lake used to have two campsites. As of 2024 (don't have ground verification yet), the south campsite on the lake might be open. That campsite is on a little rocky point. It is probably a very rough campsite if it is open. The campsite to the west of the North Wilder Lake portage is most likely still closed.

Water flows out of Harbor Lake through a small creek on the very west tip of the lake. This creek flows into Horseshoe Lake.

There isn't much information about this lakes fishery. Only way to know is to give it a try!
