Laird Lake
Laird Lake is a small lake on the Powers Ranger District at the headwaters of the Elk River. It is stocked annually with several thousand catchable rainbow trout and was recently rehabilitated to remove exotic Umpqua pikeminnow that were illegally introduced. There is a small campground at the lake with an accessible bathroom, picnic tables, and fire rings.
