Great site!

It’s ways off the trail, so private! Also has beach out front. While both stair access points were out of service, there is a path cut out across from the firewood cubby. This beach is pretty rocky, but pretty nonetheless, and offers a refreshing Lake Superior fill up!

Stunning waterfront nearby, few people, easy hike in

  • Crystal clear lake superior is accessible by stairs near this campsite. Beautiful rocks to explore. When we went, the stairs were damaged and not open, though we were able to use them anyway. 
  • Potable well water is available along the hike in to the site, about .5 miles from the Hemlock campsite. We didn't expect this, and could have left our water filtration set up at home. 
  • Free firewood is provided right near the entrance to the campsite. We had no idea about this, and it was a great surprise. 
  • Fire ring and benches were at the site.
  • There was a bear box and pit toilet provided for this site, too.
  • The hike in is flat with some nice views of Lake Superior along the way. 
  • We didn't have too many problems with flies or mosquitos this year. It's been a very dry year, though.
