Flour Lake Campground

About

Flour Lake Campground provides a convenient basecamp for exploring the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota. Located on the quiet shore of 352-acre Flour Lake, the campground sits in a stand of mixed hardwoods and pine. The lake's shallow bays attract moose, beavers, bald eagles, loons, and bears. Portages on the eastern shore connect to East Bearskin Lake and Moon Lake within the BWCAW. The campground has 37 sites, each with a picnic table and fire ring with grill, and several offer lake views. Ten sites are first-come, first-served while the rest are reservable. Facilities include accessible vault toilets, a solar-powered drinking water system, trash and recycling service, and a public boat ramp. A fee dump station is located nearby. Golden Eagle Lodge, the concessionaire, offers watercraft rentals, coin-operated showers, and approved firewood. Flour Lake provides excellent fishing for bass, walleye, and lake trout. Day-use permits for the BWCAW are available free from the campground host. The half-mile Honeymoon Bluff Trail starts a short walk up the road and offers a great vista of Hungry Jack Lake.
