Summary

There are no amenities—no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or RV hookups—so campers must be fully self-sufficient and practice Leave No Trace principles. Accessible by boat only, this small, wooded island on Lake Vermilion offers a quiet, rustic camping experience ideal for paddlers and solitude seekers. The dense forest and lakeside scenery create a peaceful, remote vibe. Nearby attractions include fishing, boating, and wildlife viewing. Best visited in late spring through early fall for mild temperatures and full lake access.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
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.
