About
Flowing Well Campground is situated along the western banks of the Sturgeon River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, approximately 10 miles from the northern shores of Lake Michigan. The campground features 10 spacious sites, some directly overlooking the river, nestled among large mature trees and seasonal wildflowers. The location provides direct access to the Sturgeon River Canoe Trail, a 41-mile non-motorized waterway that weaves through the heavily wooded Hiawatha National Forest with various access points along the route. The Sturgeon River is known for excellent fishing, with anglers targeting brook trout, steelhead, and salmon. Each campsite includes a table and fire ring. The campground offers a peaceful, natural setting ideal for tent camping, picnicking, and enjoying the surrounding forest environment. The area is particularly popular with paddlers and anglers seeking a quiet, rustic camping experience in 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.
