Summary
Permits are typically not required, but check with the local forest office (often within the Chippewa or Superior National Forests). There are no toilets, water sources, picnic tables, or RV hookups—campers must pack in/out and follow Leave No Trace principles. Campfires are allowed in existing fire rings unless restricted. Surrounded by dense forest and near serene lakes and remote trails, it’s ideal for solitude and wildlife spotting. Best visited late spring to early fall for mild weather and accessible terrain. Perfect for experienced, self-sufficient campers seeking peace and nature.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
