Cobalt Lake is a designated wilderness backcountry campsite in Glacier National Park, reached via an approximately 11-mile round-trip hike along the Two Medicine Pass Trail from the Two Medicine area.

A vault toilet is provided, but there is no potable water — campers must treat or filter all water. No fires are permitted; a camp stove is required for cooking. Overnight stays require a wilderness permit, which can be reserved in advance through Recreation.gov or obtained as a walk-up permit at a park permit office. Each site accommodates up to 4 people, with a maximum party size of 12. Bear-resistant food storage is mandatory. The site is accessible primarily from late spring through early fall.
