About
Boot Lake Campground sits at the northwest corner of the scenic 263-acre Boot Lake in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest's Lakewood-Laona District. This popular campground features 34 campsites nestled in a quiet finger of the lake, surrounded by a mix of hardwoods and pine trees. Boot Lake is a high-quality, clear seepage lake with a maximum depth of 38 feet, making it excellent for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. The campground offers a beautiful sandy swimming beach, a paved boat landing with boarding dock, and drinking water from spigots. All roads within the campground are paved. Most campsites can accommodate RVs ranging from 35 to 45+ feet in length, though some sites are tent-only. The campground has 19 reservable sites and 15 first-come, first-served sites, with a camp host on duty during the season. Fishing opportunities are excellent, with Boot Lake containing walleye, northern pike, largemouth bass, musky, and panfish. The nearby Wolf River provides world-class opportunities for whitewater rafting, kayaking, and canoeing. A trail from the campground connects to the Jones Spring Non-Motorized Area, offering additional hiking and cross-country skiing opportunities. The Cathedral Pines Trail, a notable attraction, is approximately four miles away. The small community of Townsend is just north of the campground for basic supplies.
