Warning 1 Alert is In Effect

There is 1 alert for this campground. Camp safely!

<strong>Please be aware that the Forest Service is performing clean-up and hazard tree work at Soldier Lake Campground. These management actions are necessary for preservation of the dynamic ecosystems. Along Highway M-28, mature Jack Pine trees were removed to make space for a younger stand of trees that provide a more suitable habitat for Kirtland's Warblers. In the campground where trees were removed, sunlight will be able to reach the ground, encouraging natural regeneration of the understory and healthy growth of the remaining trees. Over the next couple of years, the Forest Service will strategically place seedlings in both areas to enhance habitats and visitor experiences. If you have any questions, please contact the Forest Service.</strong>
