Sevenmile Lake

About

Sevenmile Lake Campground sits on a forested ridge overlooking a 130-acre lake in Wisconsin's Northwoods, within the Eagle River-Florence Ranger District of Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The campground provides 27 primitive sites that operate on a first-come-first-served basis with no camping fee. The rustic setting offers vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site, but no potable water is available. The recreation area centers around the clear waters of Sevenmile Lake, which supports walleye, largemouth and smallmouth bass, rock bass, perch, pumpkinseed, and bluegill fishing. A paved boat ramp accommodates motorized and non-motorized watercraft, and a sandy swimming beach with a picnic area provides a spot to cool off on summer days. The Sevenmile Trail, a 2-mile interpretive loop of intermediate difficulty, begins at the campground and winds around a bog and along a ridge with vistas of two lakes. Boardwalk sections keep hikers' feet dry through wet areas. This trail connects to the larger Hidden Lakes Trail system for extended exploration.
