Twin Lakes Recreation Area

Chequamegon-Nicolet
National Forest

This small, quiet recreation area is in a scenic setting on the shore of Twin Lakes (19 acres). Pine, spruce, cedar, and birch provide plenty of shade for the campground. A no-wake restriction on motorized craft creates a relaxing atmosphere for paddling and fishing. An aerator in the center of the lake helps maintain a healthy year-round fish population that includes Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass and Panfish.
