Laird Lake is a Forest Service campground in the Copper Salmon Wilderness, within the Powers Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests in southwest Oregon. The land is managed by the Forest Service, and the site sits inside designated wilderness. The campsite is simple, with vault toilets as the only listed amenity. There is no fee to stay here. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Illahe weather station show May highs around 75°F and September highs around 86°F, while July and August average about 90°F. That station sits roughly 1,500 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at Laird Lake run cooler. Paddlers will find the South Fork Elk River about half a mile away and the Elk River about 1.6 miles off. Hikers can head to Barklow Mountain or Iron Mountain, both about 3.5 miles away.
