Description

State Park

This campsite is located on a very large Flooded Woods. To get to the campsite, go to the Elbow Lake Road Trailhead and hike south. Flooded woods always seem really creepy and murky, and this one is no exception. The campsite itself is really nice with grassy tent pads and a nice campfire area.

Very quiet, off the trail with a pretty view

Flooded woods campsite is a bit off the trail (the North Country Trail in MN), which is nice, but very well marked by a wooden sign with it's name carved in it. A 30 yard walk perhaps. Some sites are right on the trail. This one is not, and it keeps it a bit more private. It was only about a mile and a half from a parking area, so easy walk if you wanted a quick overnight from reality.

There is a lovely view of the "water", but this time of year, when we were there, it was more swampy. Still a very pretty view though. A lot of dead tress gave it an interesting look. The campsite itself has a fire ring, tent pad and trees for hammocks. There was a latrine too, but nothing to write home about.

Someone had put a chair near the fire. Not quite sure what that was all about, but I guess if you needed an extra seat, then you had one! There was also a log bench, as is common at these sites.
