## Overview

Cut Foot Sioux Horse Camp is located northeast of Lake Winnibigoshish. Over
120 miles of forest roads and recreation trails surround this scenic
campground, making it a favorite location of campers with horses. **The
campground will be first-come, first-served for the entire 2025 season.**

The Chippewa National Forest and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe work together
to co-steward resources - making the Forest a great place to recreate as well
as a special place where cultural and traditional resources are protected and
preserved and the Band’s treaty rights are respected.

## Recreation

Many miles of trails pass through or begin at Cut Foot Horse Camp, leading
horseback riders, hikers, and mountain bikers through the Cut Foot
Experimental Forest. Several trails are also open to off-road vehicles.
Research areas are designated by various markers. Please leave the markers as
you find them.

Unique campgrounds like Cut Foot Horse require certain restrictions to
maintain water quality, minimize soil erosion and lessen any impacts on
vegetation. Special attention has been paid in designating the site for horse
camping.  
  
Several single-unit campsites are available, most of which are accessible.
Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Hitching racks,
picket lines and manure pits are located throughout the campground. Vault
toilets and a solar-powered drinking water cistern are provided.  
  
There is no campground host on site. The campground is patrolled regularly by
Forest Service personnel and Itasca County law enforcement officers.

## Natural Features

The campground lies within the Cut Foot Experimental Forest, managed in part
by the North Central Research Station in Grand Rapids and the Chippewa
National Forest.  
A mature stand of red pine covers the area, with oak and birch trees dotting
the forest. The campground has nice shade and good privacy between sites.

## Nearby Attractions

Foot Sioux Lakes and Lake Winnibigoshish. These lakes and several others are
