Warning 1 Alert is In Effect

There is 1 alert for this campground. Camp safely!

The U.S Forest will be drawing down water levels on the Mondeaux Flowage this winter. The purpose of this drawdown is to improve the sport fishery by providing temporary control of weed densities; and thereby increasing winter oxygen levels, which reduces the potential for winter kill of fish. The drawdown will begin the week of September 30th, 2024, and be completed by the first part of November 2024. Water levels will drop approximately 2- 4 per day for a total of 4-6 ft when completed. The flowage will be refilled beginning March 1st, 2025, and be completely refilled by mid-April, 2025. There have been periodic drawdowns on the Mondeaux Flowage since the winter of 1971-72 with the most recent in the winter of 2017-18.

Picnic Point Campground is located in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest near Medford, Wisconsin. The terrain consists of dense forest and rolling hills, providing a natural setting for camping. Temperatures range from lows in the 20s Fahrenheit during winter to highs in the 80s during summer, and nearby attractions include the Ice Age National Scenic Trail and the North Twin Lake.
