Lake Albert, Oregon?
We're driving from Reno to Burns on Monday and I'm looking for an interesting half-way spot to stop along 395. Noticed Albert Lake and managed to find some vague info on dispersed camping, but nothing...

Now that this thread has run its course, a little history refresher.
Lake Abert (not ALbert. There is no L in the name) was named by explorer John Fremont for Col Abert, head of the U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers that commissioned Fremont's expedition.
Fremont's journal is a free e-book for Kindle and you can read his account of the expedition. Read with a map handy and you can follow along. You may already visited or camped in places described in 1843.
Neat! I love reading history from the places we visit. Cheers for the name correction. With my dyslexia I often "create" or miss letters from names. Now, I know it's Abert.
