Nice little Beach area. Good fishing, hiking trails, be careful can get lost. Many horseflies mosquitoes on trails. Bug spray a must. Great atmosphere with beautiful sunsets
A gorgeous campground and recreational area! They have multiple camp sites for rustic camping in a quiet, beautiful setting on Glidden Lake. Pit- toilet facilities available. There are nearly twelve miles of hiking trails available, and a nice boardwalk through the marsh land. Cost per night is 15, no trash available so pack in, pack out.
This is a lovely little campground that is locked into an extensive trail system. The lake is totally undeveloped and is deserving of a canoe/kayak/small boat. Also functions well as a base camp for traveling to nearby Lake Mary, Peavey Pond and Michigamme Reservoir; not to mention plenty of public lands for hunting. The screening has been slightly reduced between the campsites due to some hazard tree removal efforts, and the adjacent Lake Mary road can have some frequent, usually single car traffic, but the overall setting of the sites with the lake is truly unique. Love the foot bridge spanning over the bog, nice touch.
