Fox Island Rocks!

Located about 12 miles from the Ash River Visitor Center put in, this beautiful little “front country” boat in site is my absolute favorite in Namakan Lake. Note: Get a detailed chart before attempting to navigate the lake, as the twists and turns and hundreds of islands can be quite confusing without one.

Beautiful view of the sunrise over Canada and surrounding islands, two camping pads (one tucked into the trees and the other right on the waterfront), firepit, picnic table, 2 bear boxes, and your own private toilet (bring your own TP!). Kayak/canoe landing area is protected from the main channel/wind, can accommodate multiple boats with ease, and is an easy “schlep” up the stairs to the campsite. We stayed here just 1 night, but would have loved to have stayed longer, though our timing was perfect to watch the full moon rise over the lake just after sunset – amazingly gorgeous and romantic while enjoying a campfire.
