Forest Lodge Nature Trail

Local Campgrounds

Day Lake Campground lies in a stand of pines and hardwoods on the west shore of a scenic, sprawling, undeveloped lake. The campground is a family favorite that features a shady picnic area, children’s playground, sandy swimming beach and a scenic lakeside trail. Sunsets from the trail and campground are often amazing! A beautiful pine, birch and hardwood forest surround the 578-acre lake which has numerous small islands and bays that are fun to explore with a canoe or kayak. There’s also great fishing. Panfish, Musky and Largemouth Bass are common. A public boat launch and lakeside picnic area are south of the campground off County Highway M.

The small and secluded East Twin Lake Campground sits in a hardwood and hemlock forest next to a beautiful 112-acre lake. The shallow lake has a densely forested shoreline that is mostly undeveloped, so exploring the lake by canoe or kayak is highly recommended. The recreation area’s boat landing and shady picnic area are a half-mile northeast of the campground.

Namekagon Campground lies in a hardwood and hemlock forest next to a gorgeous lake that sprawls over 3,000 acres with numerous bays, islands and navigable waterways connecting to other lakes, ideal for exploring by canoe, kayak or boat. Wildlife is abundant, deer, eagles and loons are common. Namekagon Lake offers excellent crappie fishing along with Walleye, Musky, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass.

The popular Two Lakes Campground sits between a pair of beautiful, clear-water lakes: Lake Owen (1250 acres) and Bass Lake (63 acres). Most of the campsites overlook one of the scenic lakes and most are shaded by tall pines and hardwoods, two reasons why this campground is so popular despite not having any electric hookups.

On Lake Owen, there are two swimming beaches and a beautiful shaded picnic area with tables, grills and a chalet near the boat launch. Bass Lake features a scenic one-mile hiking trail that circles the lake along with a boat launch and a T-shaped fishing pier. Both lakes are excellent for kayaking, canoeing and boating. Lake Owen is well-known for its fishery, especially: panfish, Walleye, Northern Pike, Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass.
