Huron National Forest Reid Lake Semi-Primitive Nonmotorized Area

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Huron National Forest's Reid Lake Semi-Primitive Nonmotorized Area is a hike-in and walk-in campground managed by the US Forest Service, open year-round and accessible only on foot. No motorized vehicles enter the area. The Reid Lake Foot Travel Area sits less than a mile away, making this a reasonable base for campers testing gear on shorter routes before committing to longer treks. Trails run medium difficulty and can become overgrown in spots. Campsites include fire pits, though some pits near certain sites have deteriorated. Open-air outhouses are present but set back from the sites. Water filtration is essential: mosquito activity along the lake shorelines is heavy, particularly in early summer. Trash service is available, and pets and alcohol are permitted. This campground works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with minimal infrastructure.

Beautiful

Serene isolated camping. Becomes a bit overgrown at points. Great beginner length trails of medium difficulty trails. I’d recommend this spot to try out different gear before longer treks

Some campsites and campfire pits (the one near 2 and 3 seems to be non existent anymore). Open outhouse toilets near sites but far enough away. Also bring good filtration, mosquito eggs coat all of the shorelines for the lakes
