Interesting facts about the area include the fact that the Chippewa National Forest was the first national forest east of the Mississippi River, established in 1908. The Lost Forty, which is adjacent to the campground, is so named because it was originally marked as a lake on a survey conducted in the 1800s, but was later found to contain some of the last remaining stands of old-growth pine in the state.
Overall, the Logging Trail camping area offers a peaceful and scenic retreat within the beautiful Chippewa National Forest, with plenty of nearby attractions and activities to enjoy.
