Devil Track Campground is a nicely wooded campground located on the shore of Devil Track Lake. There are many young pines in the area, making it an excellent spot to look for wildlife. Devil Track Lake is a rough translation of the Ojibwe name: 'spirit' would probably better capture the concept than 'devil'. Regardless of the name, the lake is fun to fish. A carry down boat launch and pier are located at the campground and a drive in ramp located about 0.5 miles away will help you get a line in the water. Downloadable information and map.

Quiet relaxing a great plans to go to get your sanity back
Beautiful campsites. We stayed in number 8 which I believe is the best site for seclusion and lake access. Most sites are spacious and some away from the lake are gigantic. Be prepared for mosquitoes. Full gear may required depending on the cycle. We would stay again. Remember it is rustic camping, fire pits, outhouses and trash only.
