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.

Spearhead Point is located in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest near Medford, WI. The area features forested terrain with access to nearby lakes and rivers. Campers can experience temperatures ranging from 60°F to 80°F in summer and 10°F to 30°F in winter, with attractions like the Ice Age National Scenic Trail and the Northwoods Wildlife Center within reach.

Overview

Spearhead Point Campground is one of the most popular campgrounds on the scenic Mondeaux Flowage.

The campground provides numerous opportunities for recreation and enjoyment of the surrounding area.

The trail is open to hiking and wanders 1,200 miles along the edge of a historic glacier that once covered the state of Wisconsin and much of North America.

Love this place!

Have been camping here several times and I still always enjoy it! The fishing is great- lots of bluegill!! Will catch on almost every throw! Great for taking kids fishing. You get a pier at your campsite to tie your boat up at. Nice area for swimming and even has a good hike! Campsites are very private and pretty big. Each campsite has its own picnic table and fire ring. The bathrooms and very clean and not a far walk. Not very buggy.
