About

State Park

North Cascade River Campsites are located on the Superior Hiking Trail and can be reached by traveling approximately 5 miles west from the SHT Bally Creek Road trail system overnight lot on Bally Creek Rd/158, or parking on Pike Lake Rd/Cty Rd 45 in the SHTA overnight lot and hiking north slightly less then 1 mile. Remoteness, water falls, and steep slopes make care and advanced planning important.

Great for groups

North Cascade River campsite on the Superior Hiking Trail was a site for sore eyes as we hiked southbound from Grand Marais. Until this site water sources had been minimal. We did find some flowing water at Sundling Creek but before that we had a couple stagnant and warm beaver ponds to work with. Everything else was dried up in the middle of Summer. This larger campsite would do well with groups. It had a couple different fire pit areas and lots of nooks and crannies for tents. The water source was the Cascade River which was close but down a very steep incline. Not great if you had kids with you. But fun to traverse nonetheless. The river below was easily accessible and flowing freely. A bit too deep to really play in but with some hiking poles you could have moved around. Not really any place to spread out as a group by the river more just for fetching water. This campsite was also a great spot for hammock campers. Plenty of room up top as well as some great spots right by the river. The site was pretty nice and recommended over the next several spots north to Grand Marais but if you're heading southbound save yourself for a real winner, Trout Creek Campsite.
