Mineral Lake

This campground is currently closed. Boating, swimming and fishing are popular activities among visitors. A boat ramp to the lake is provided off of Forest Service Road 187, about a mile from the campground. Anglers can expect a catch of a variety of freshwater lake and river species, including musky, bass, walleye and pan fish. Eagle watching is also a popular pastime. The forest is home to hundreds of miles of off-road vehicle, hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as numerous lakes, ponds and rivers to sink a line or launch a boat. Access to the North Country National Scenic Trail, which traverses thousands of miles from New York to North Dakota, is available nearby. The 256-acre Mineral Lake is surrounded by a mixed hardwoods forest. Several campsites overlook the lake, and the area is home to a variety of birds, including eagles, and plentiful wildlife. Morgan Falls and St. Peter's Dome, the highest peak in the forest, are both located nearby and make excellent day trips.
