Blair Lake is a beautiful mountain lake located in the Centennial Mountains. The lake is found in the Hell Roaring Drainage and has an inlet and outlet. The northwest part of the lake is shallow and the southeast part of the lake has steep drop offs. There is a high amount of insect life in the lake and leeches were found in the mouths of some fish. The lengthy hike to the lake is of moderate difficulty with some steep switchback portions, but the hike is well worth it. This lake does see moderate amounts of human traffic and is reflected around the lake.
