Lake Cleveland is a popular high mountain lake located in the Albion Mountains just below Mt. Harrison at the head of Howell Canyon.  Fishing this non-motorized lake is a popular recreational activity.  The lake is stocked by the Idaho Fish and Game Department.  The west and east sides of the lake both have developed campsites; the fee is $10.00 per night.  Search for Lake Cleveland under camping on the Minidoka Ranger District of the Sawtooth NF website.
