Trail Overview

This trail serves as the direct access route to the lakeside campsite and is mostly wide, smooth, and well-maintained. It leads to a campground with two loops, north and south, with the north loop offering the more desirable sites. The campground provides hand-pumped water and clean toilets, though there are no showers available. Cell phone reception is limited at the site, and due to the dense tree cover, Starlink connectivity is not possible.

History

Covering more than 1.6 million acres of glacial lakes, red-pine uplands, and sphagnum bogs, Minnesota's Chippewa National Forest lets motorists experience the North Woods at an unrushed pace. Paved state highways soon yield to a lattice of numbered forest roads, most of them well-graded gravel that thread between kettle ponds and stands of towering white pine, the tree that helped earn the forest its 1908 designation as one of America's first national forests. The forest harbors one of the highest breeding densities of bald eagles in the continental United States, and patient drivers often glimpse loons, black bears, and white-tailed deer as they move from shoreline to clear-cut regrowth and back again.

Access Description

Drivers who want a defined route can follow three state scenic byways--Avenue of the Pines (State Highway 46), Lady Slipper (Highways 39 and 238), and the Edge of the Wilderness (Highway 38). Each traces an old logging corridor and pauses at cultural touchstones such as the Norway Beach Visitor Center and the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps camp at Joyce Estate. Explorers who prefer to improvise may take any signed spur and soon find themselves alone beside a beaver-built wetland or watching the Mississippi River's headwaters twist through tamarack lowlands.
