Norway Beach Loop

We were pleasantly surprised by our family trip to Cass Lake. The Norway Loop was quiet, sites were spaces out pretty well and had lots of tall trees for shade. Lots of paved and unpaved walking and biking trails. The lake has sand all around it, so easy to create your own private beach for your group. We would definitely come back!
