Have you ever
slept under the stars or waken by the birds chirping and
the gentle waves lapping at the shoreline? LBL
encompasses 170,000 acres of almost entirely undeveloped
land, surrounded on three sides by water -- a camper's
paradise! With more than 300 miles of shoreline (that is
more than Lake Superior), many quiet beaches and coves are
perfect overnight spots. Hikers and mountain bikers on an
extended exploration of our trail system can spend the
night trailside, too. So pack your tent and head into the
back country for a night under the stars.
Back Country
camping is permitted year-round anywhere in LBL except for
cemeteries, picnic areas, fee campgrounds, the
Environmental Education Area and within 200 yards of paved
roads. A Backcountry Use Permit is required.
