About
Flowing Well Campground occupies a scenic stretch along the Sturgeon River in the Hiawatha National Forest, roughly 10 miles inland from Lake Michigan's northern shore. The campground serves as a launch point and rest stop for paddlers on the 41-mile Sturgeon River Canoe Trail, which weaves through heavily forested terrain with multiple access points along its length. The six standard non-electric sites are spread among large trees and seasonal wildflowers, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. Most sites also have grills. Accessible vault toilets and a hand-pump well provide basic services, though the well water has a distinctive iron and sulfur taste. The campground accommodates both tent and RV camping, limited to one unit per site. Fishing for brook trout, steelhead, and salmon draws anglers to the Sturgeon River throughout the season. The surrounding Hiawatha National Forest offers additional hiking and wildlife viewing opportunities in this quiet corner of the Upper Peninsula.
Directions
From Rapid River, drive east 13.4 miles on US 2 to Forest Highway 13. Turn left (north) on FH 13 and drive 2.8 miles to the campground.
