FR 2140 Dispersed off Hidden Lakes Trail

1 ReviewAdd Review

Free dispersed camping on FR 2140 in Nicolet National Forest comes with a picnic table, fire ring, and a wilderness toilet. The gravel road gets dusty under summer traffic, so expect a rougher approach in warmer months. One bar of cell service has been reported with a boosted antenna. Direct lake access to Butternut Lake isn't available at the site itself, though access points exist down the road. Nearby options include Two Sisters Lake Dispersed Campsite and other dispersed sites in the area. The Hidden Lakes Trail connects directly from camp for those wanting to get on foot quickly.

Nice Spot in National forest

Winter camped here, was a nice spot pic nik table, fire ring, wilderness toilet. There is hiking trail access from campsite,but no water access to butternut lake or it would have been 5 star. There is access down the road.Did get one bar of cell (cricket) full with 20 foot ant. Note I've been through here in summer and the road is gravel very dusty from traffic.
