About
Overview
We apologize, this campground is currently closed.
Recreation
Boating, swimming and fishing are popular activities among visitors. A boat ramp to the lake is provided off of Forest Service Road 187, about a mile from the campground.
Anglers can expect a catch of a variety of freshwater lake and river species, including musky, bass, walleye and pan fish. Eagle watching is also a popular pastime.
The forest is home to hundreds of miles of off-road vehicle, hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as numerous lakes, ponds and rivers to sink a line or launch a boat. Access to the North Country National Scenic Trail, which traverses thousands of miles from New York to North Dakota, is available nearby.
Facilities
Natural Features

Nearby Attractions
Morgan Falls and St. Peter's Dome, the highest peak in the forest, are both located nearby and make excellent day trips.
