Section 29 Lake Rustic Campground

Campground closure

Site Partially Closed

This small four site campground is on the shore of Section 29 Lake, which is of course located in section 29 of a township. While it doesn't have the most romantic of names, this lake does have a boat ramp and walleyes and northern pike. It is also only a short drive to several other small lakes, most with carry down access.

The northeast portion of Section 29 Lake was involved in the 2011 Pagami Creek Fire. While open to the public, it is recommended that if you go on shore in the fire area, you exersize caution. Many standing burnt trees are potential deadfalls, and impacts from walking can harm the delicate post fire soil and regenerating plants.
