Reservations to all Chippewa National Forest Campgrounds can be made six months in advance. Stony Point is located on beautiful Leech Lake, in the heart of Minnesota's Chippewa National Forest. Visitors enjoy the area for its boating, canoeing, fishing and birding opportunities.
Boating and fishing are very popular activities enjoyed by visitors to the campground. Anglers will find walleye, perch, bass, northern pike and muskie, where every cast has the potential to yield a trophy-sized catch. A boat ramp and dock are located within the campground. Miles of scenic hiking trails meander around Leech Lake, including the Paul Bunyon State Trail, Heartland Trail, Soo Line Trail and North Country National Scenic Trail.
The campground offers sites with 30 amp electric hookups, and one walk-to tent site without electric hookups. Flush and vault toilets, showers, drinking water and a dump station are provided.
The campground is situated on the banks of Leech Lake in an open, grassy area, surrounded by an old growth forest of oak, elm, maple and ash trees. Some trees are over 200 years old. Leech Lake is the third-largest lake in Minnesota at more than 112,000 acres, with nearly 200 miles of shoreline. Campers commonly hear the telltale call of loons on the water.
The very popular tourist town of Walker, Minnesota is located approximately 14 miles west of the campground, with a variety of restaurants, shops and festivals available there throughout the year.
From Walker, Minn., take Highway 200 east 6 miles to County Road 13. Go north 3 miles on County Road 13 to Forest Road 3793, then east 2.5 miles on FR 3793 to the campground.
Great for surfing, shore fishing, and watching the northern lights.
Stumbled upon this quiet little spot on accident. I was driving up the north shore and decided to turn off and look at the water. This is a beautiful little area, very quiet and relaxing. When I was there I saw a couple dozen fishing boats off the coast. It was very cool.
What an unexpected gem this was. Parked on the side of a dirt road and walked through a Narnia-like woods to a beautiful rocky lakeshore. Awesome spot.....look up in the pine trees to see more spider webs than you could ever believe.
A long stretch of smooth rock makes this a great place to experience the Lake. Summer weather can be cool so it is a great option on a hot day. Wave watching is perfect as prevailing winds often create incoming swells.
Access the smooth rocks from the north end of Stoney Point Drive. In both directions along the shore there are stretches of cobblestone that are difficult to walk along so use the numerous access trails along the road to get to secluded spots on the shore.
Beautiful views is Lake Superior whenever the surfers aren't nearby. Vast. Breathtaking views. Great place to meditate and just to clear thoughts.
