Chippewa Loop

About

Chippewa Loop sits within the Norway Beach Recreation Area on the scenic southern shore of Cass Lake, the largest of eight lakes in the Cass Lake Chain covering nearly 16,000 acres with 27 miles of forested shoreline. The campground is nestled in a forest of mature red and white pine trees, with some sites overlooking the lake. All 46 sites are equipped with electric hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables. Flush toilets and showers are provided. There is no dump station in the recreation area, and potable water is not available on-site, so campers must bring their own drinking water. Reservations are available through Recreation.gov, with some sites offered first-come, first-served. Recreation opportunities include boating, canoeing, water skiing, and swimming at sandy beaches. Cass Lake is popular for walleye, northern pike, perch, and trophy muskie fishing. The nearby Norway Beach Visitor Center, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, offers interpretive programs on Dakota and Ojibwe heritage and local ecology throughout the summer season.
