About

Flour Lake Campground provides a convenient home base for exploring the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Superior National Forest. Set on the quiet shore of 352-acre Flour Lake in a stand of mixed hardwoods and pine, the campground offers 37 sites, with 27 reservable and 10 first-come, first-served. The eastern edge of Flour Lake defines the border of the BWCAW, and two portages link Flour Lake with East Bearskin Lake and Moon Lake, making this a popular destination for canoe and kayak enthusiasts. The campground accommodates large RVs and offers private sites with picnic tables and campfire rings with grills, some with lake views. Amenities include accessible vault toilets, solar-powered drinking water, trash and recycling facilities, and a public boat ramp. Flour Lake provides excellent fishing for bass, walleye, and lake trout, while the shallow bays attract moose, beavers, bald eagles, ducks, loons, and other wildlife. The half-mile Honeymoon Bluff Trail begins just up the road and offers great vistas of Hungry Jack Lake. Golden Eagle Lodge, the lake concessionaire, provides watercraft rental, coin-operated showers, and firewood sales.
