Get Lost at Lost Lake!

This is a small, quiet state forest campground, off the beaten path from any direction. The main activities are quiet campig, and fishing! There is a nice lake with a convenient boat launch nearby, nicely spaced wooded campsitess, room for RVs but no hookups. There has been some fresh loggin activity in the area so that does affect the scenicness of the woods nearby, as well as the quality of the access road if it is rainy. Basic water, basic pit toilets, picnic tables and fire rings, no other amenities besides peace and quiet and fish ready for your hooks!
