Boat-in access defines this free dispersed camping area on Graces Lake in Minnesota's state forest system. Campers reach the site by paddling across the water, though walk-in access also remains possible for those willing to hike. The campground operates under standard state forest rules, allowing both pets and alcohol.
Located southeast of the Boulder area, this spot attracts paddlers seeking lakefront camping without fees or reservations. The dispersed nature means no designated sites or facilities, requiring campers to bring all supplies and pack out waste. Limited review data suggests this remains a lesser-known option for self-sufficient campers comfortable with primitive conditions.
