We did the beaver trail. 1.6 miles one way to Lake Superior! Easy hike! Loved it and it connects to over hikes in the area! So if you want to change directions you can!! There wasn’t one person we could see on the beach so it was peaceful to sit and watch the waves!! Just gorgeous

Beautiful backcountry camping. Beautiful beach to swim at and watch the sunset. It’s about a 3 mile hike from the trailhead parking.

Great Campground. Going back next year. Can't guarantee we'll we'll get our own private airshow again. While playing on the beach we had 2 fly-bys by a pair of Harrier jets and then a C130.

Took 2 hours to hike with full packs, and the hike was beautiful. There's a storage box with food and a communal firepit, though most camp sites have their own as well (but no grills). And the beach is pristine.
