Description:

Phipps Lake is small in size and easy to access. Access to Phipps Lake is at the lake’s far Northern point. The lake has a few small bays and good views of Smoke Mountain. Resident Rainbow Trout are common in the lake. Phipps Lake was named after Al Phipps, a local helper on Frank Swannell’s surveying expeditions in the area in the mid 1920’s.

Access is via an easy 217m portage. There are no signs to mark the lake, however the portage is ribboned.

Please do not leave trash on site.
