Routing and Navigation

Your trip orientation at our base will include complete trip routing. We'll highlight specific areas of interest, cover campsite selection, and provide fishing information. At this time we'll also cover navigation using large scale, easy to read maps of the area, and a compass. We show each camper a U.S. Forest Service Video concerning regulations, and camping techniques. We record the route of your trip so that you can be reached if an emergency arises at home. At this time we issue permits, collect final payment and you can purchase last minute items in our store.

Fishing

Many visitors plan their trip around fishing these legendary waters. Walleye, northern pike, small mouth bass, and lake trout are among the species that are abundant in these cool, clean waters. Trophy fish are caught by our guests each season. May, June and September are traditionally the best months for fishing, but nice catches are brought in throughout the season. We stay abreast of conditions and will assist you in fishing methods and the selection of bait and lures.
