Awesome river access, canoe/tent camping campground. If doing a overnight canoe trip, great place to camp out.
Used their shuttle service, very friendly and accommodating to your needs. Highly recommend for some quiet time on the river.
Landed here while kayaking this weekend. Be advised: all signage says NO CAMPING; seems like an oxymoron (Canoe Camp...but no camping allowed). Nevertheless, a pleasant place to stop, with water and an outhouse.
Absolutely beautiful! The view off the docks an landing are breath taking, Maybe get lucky enough to see wildlife cross the river, an or the trails. Fishing there is popular but it's catch n release. Can go camping at the river but you have to walk, along with you're camping gear, food, ect. down to the river. Has out-houses, an wells for water. Dog friendly. Huge spot, an mostly shaded. DNR maintenances mostly check on Sundays, unless if they're busy then it's every couple of days or so. Lots of wildlife an nature to enjoy!
