Winnie Dam This campground is a high quality, well kept federal campground sponsored and maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers. It is adjacent to the Dam that marks the outlet of the Mississippi River from Lake Winnibigoshsish. Folks enjoy camping here for the tremendous fishing opportunities on Lake Winnie or the Mississippi River, with boat access at the campground boat launch below the dam, or the DNR/ Forest Service Boat Launch at Plug Hat Point above the dam. There are also possibilities for hiking and ATV riding on nearby trails in the Chippewa National Forest. The campsites here are basic campsites, but there are facilities in the form of regular bathrooms and newer outhouses. Sites are wooded and shady with a fair amount of space in between. Fire ring and tables included. There is a campground manager and good maintenance by campground staff, and there is a resident campground host who can advise on area recreation and other info. There is a playground and picnic area adjacent to the boat launch. Paddlers on the Headwaters canoe trail may want to overnight here, but would need to access this campground either via a half mile portage from the Plug Hat Point boat launch above the dam, or via a short but very steep and rocky portage right at the dam on the left(east) side.
