Beaver Lake (Chequamegon-Nicolet NF, WI)

Overview

Beaver Lake Campground is a small, secluded, family-friendly campground located on the shores of its namesake lake. The waterfront sites provide spectacular scenic views of the area and its location gives visitors access to several popular areas of the Chequamegon National Forest.

Recreation

In addition to the boating and fishing opportunities offered at the lake, a number of day hikes can be accessed from the campground. A short trail connects the campground to the North Country National Scenic Trail, which traverses through Chequamegon National Forest as it makes its way from New York to North Dakota.

The surrounding area offers many miles of off-road vehicle, hiking and mountain biking trails, along with several lakes and rivers to wet a line or launch a boat. Springbrook, a Class 1 brook trout stream, is nearby, and is a popular spot for anglers.

Facilities

The campground offers less than a dozen single-family campsites for tent and RV camping. Each site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are provided. Trash collection and recycling bins are also available.

Natural Features

Beaver Lake sits in northwestern Wisconsin, in a forest of maple, birch and red pine trees. The lake is a perfect spot to kayak, canoe, swim or enjoy a leisurely boat ride. A boat ramp is located about a half-mile from the campground.

Nearby Attractions

Morgan Falls, St. Peter's Dome and the Penokee overlook are all just a short drive from the campground.

Quiet campground located on a nice little lake great for fishing & kayaking. A pair of swans made their appearance every morning & evening adding to the experience. Day trips to Ashland & Mellen to further explore the area.

Chose this site because of its proximity to the North Country Trail. It provided an opportunity to day-hike portions of the trail I had not previously experienced - in preparation for a potential through-hike on a portion of the trail. Grounds were clean and well maintained. The vault toilet was in very good condition, well-maintained, and clean. Only one other site was occupied for the first few nights, and several other groups arrived for the final night. All groups were quiet and respectful.

The road to the campground was easy to get to. However, coming down the forest road, there is a fork in the road. It looked like we should have continued to the right, but the campground was to the left. We went miles and miles out of our way on the rough road and finally turned around. We expected to see a brown sign directing us to the campground. You REALLY need to put a sign at the fork in the road indicating that the campground is to the left!! Other than that, the campground was nice and peaceful. The restroom was fairly clean. We had a great campsite and enjoyed the lake.

Very nice #7 campsite, bugs at the site weren’t nearly as bad as we feared; the nearby hiking trails are a different story. Fishing was great on beaver lake, fished directly from the water access on site 7 and caught plenty of bass. No other campers at any other campsites when we were there. Absolutely no service. Great place to be isolated!
