The perfect place to start your canoe trip to the BWCA or stay for a while and fish Moose lake with one of their boats. I stayed here for 3 months in my RV and it was a perfect base camp to explore the area.

Free showers. Has boat/canoe rentals. Tiny store and campfire wood was under $6 for a bundle. Town is 15 minutes away. Lake is huge and very friendly people. Also has washer dryer that costs $1 a load per machine.
