Located in the middle of Cass Lake, Star Island is one of the unique features of the Chippewa National Forest. Named for its star shape, "Star Island" is the largest of four islands in Cass Lake. Star Island has over eight miles of shoreline and encompasses 980 acres of both public land and private homes. Six miles of trails wind along the high banks and deep woods of the island, providing opportunities for hiking and nature study. Star Island Campground is located on the southwest shore of the island. Campers must provide their own water and pack out any refuse. Lake Windigo sits inside Star Island. Lake Windigo's special location earned it a notation with "Ripleys Believe It or Not". | Map
Acees to Star Island is by boat or canoe. The US Highway 2 Wayside Rest Are east of the city of Cass Lake provides ample parking and drive-down boat access.
The only facility was a pit toilet. No water or electricity. We stayed one hour, got bored, and went home. Oh yeah, Bugs and bugs.
Great beach, water is shallow so nice for swimming. Have been going here for years!
Lovely quiet camping site. Pit toilet. Needs TP however, but there was a bottle of hand sanitizer! Beach is easy to pull a boat up to but needs some mowing along the shoreline and paths. Clean clear looking lake water!
