About

Mosomo Point Campground is located between Little and Big Cut Foot Sioux Lakes in the heart of Chippewa National Forest. Named after Bob Mosomo, the last Chief of the Winnibigoshish Band of Ojibwe who lived here until 1939, the campground was established in 1959 on the treaty reserved homelands of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe. The campground features 23 sites set in a transitional area lined with mature red and white pine trees. Its protected location on the lake provides calm waters away from the big lake, making it an ideal spot for flatwater paddling and fishing. Cut Foot Sioux Lake connects to Lake Winnibigoshish, one of Minnesota's premier fisheries known for excellent walleye, perch, and trophy muskie fishing. The area is home to diverse waterfowl and birds of prey including loons, osprey, and bald eagles. Miles of trails provide hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding opportunities, with the Simpson Creek Trail and Cut Foot Sioux National Recreation Area Trail accessible nearby. The Cut Foot Sioux Visitor Information Center is located a half-mile from the campground, offering interpretive displays, educational programs, and area information.
