Kawishiwi Lake Rustic Campground

Kawishiwi Lake is a lovely campground in a birch stand on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.  It provides an excellent campsite for people entering or exiting the BWCAW via the Kawishiwi Lake Entry Point.  The BWCAW boundary is the shore of the lake, so motors are not allowed on the lake and if you plan on putting a canoe in the water at all, you will need a day use permit available at a kiosk at the access point.
