Kentuck Lake Campground

About

Located 15 miles east of Eagle River off Highway 70, Kentuck Lake Campground occupies a maple-shaded setting on the east shore of 955-acre Kentuck Lake. Early Kentucky settlers gave the lake its name, and today it draws anglers seeking walleye, musky, northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, and panfish. The campground provides 31 sites split between 18 reservable and 13 first-come, first-served. Some sites offer electric hookups. All sites include a fire ring with grill and picnic table. A pressurized water system provides potable water. The paved boat launch within the campground provides direct lake access for motorized and non-motorized watercraft. A 2.5-mile hiking trail begins near the boat landing and connects to Spectacle Lake Campground, passing through mature upland hardwoods and lowland conifers. The area supports diverse wildlife including deer, black bear, and numerous bird species.
