About
Beaver Lake Campground is a small, secluded campground located on the shores of its namesake 35-acre lake in the Chequamegon National Forest's Great Divide District. The campground offers 10 campsites, with six sites available for reservation and four available first-come, first-served. Each site includes a parking spur, fire ring, picnic table, and tent pad. The campground is situated in a forest of maple, birch, and red pine trees, providing a rustic northwoods experience. Bbeaver Lake is a shallow seepage lake with a maximum depth of 10 feet, offering fishing opportunities for brown trout, brook trout, channel catfish, and perch. The lake is suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and small motorized boats. A boat launch is located half-mile from the campground on Forest Road 198. A spur trail connects the campground to the North Country National Scenic Trail, which traverses 31 miles across the north end of the Great Divide District as it makes its way from New York to North Dakota. The area provides access to numerous outdoor activities including mountain biking on the CAMBA trail system and Rock Lake National Recreation Trail, and nearby attractions including St. Peter's Dome, Morgan Falls, and the Marengo Semi-primitive Non-motorized area. Springbrook, a Class 1 brook trout stream, is also nearby for anglers.
