Ewing Point Campsite

The Munising and Rapid River/Manistique Ranger Districts of the Hiawatha National Forest offer a variety of camping experiences. Many are located on inland lakes in a rustic forest environment with no drinking water. The rustic environment offers a wonderfully serene and peaceful setting. Visitors will be able to enjoy swimming, berry picking and fishing at these dispersed campsites; licenses are required for fishing in Michigan waters. Bruno's Run Hiking Trail weaves throughout the Ewing Point area, offering 9 miles of adventure for hikers. The trail is accessible at various locations, two of which are near the Ewing Point parking area: one section leads to Grassy Lake, while the other heads along the southeastern portion of McKeever Lake. McKeever Lake offers great fishing for musky, pike, bass and pan fish, and there is boat access in the parking area. Boats must be carried to the site by hand or through the water, and because the water is quite shallow, large boats are not recommended. There is no drinking water at the site; drinking water must be carried in, and water is available at Pete's Lake Campground. A pit toilet is available. The single site holds a maximum of 8 people. Ewing Point is a beautiful walk-in campsite located on the north side of the 132-acre McKeever Lake. The grassy site is 50 ft x 75 ft, surrounded by hemlock and cedar.
