Lake of the Pines Campground

Flambeau River State Forest

A high leafy canopy of mature maples shades this campground that runs along a low ridge on the shore of Lake of the Pines. The 273-acre lake offers excellent paddling and fishing with a scenic backdrop of hilly terrain covered in birch, pines, and hardwoods. You will be surrounded by a chorus of songbirds while on or near the water in the early mornings and late afternoons.

The Lake of the Pines Nature Trail begins at the boat landing and runs through hardwoods and hemlocks along the base of the ridge between the campground and the lake. Most of the trail is set back from the lakeshore with several short spurs to the shoreline offering scenic views. The trail is used by almost everyone who stays at the campground and provides an excellent after-dinner stroll when the sun lights up the opposite shore. The Nature Trail ends in the hills at the north end of the lake.

A wood stairway between sites 113 and 114 provides access to the Nature Trail and a small swimming area.
