Hiking Trail

The campground offers one of the most unique hiking trails in the Midwest.  Large calcite rock outcroppings are exposed along the trail which winds its way through a rare pure stand of old white cedar.  Along the way the hiker will see large white and red pine as well as hemlock.  There are several scenic overlooks of the Paint River. 

The half-mile loop trail includes multilingual tree identification markers featuring the native Ojibwe language.  These markers have been put into an Ojibwe tree identification booklet.

Whitetail Deer                    Wild Turkeys at Wigwam

The campground is known for the abundance of ‘waawaashkeshiwag’ (whitetail deer) that seek the shelter of the large cedars and bluffs along the Paint River.  Campers are just about guaranteed to see them especially in the fall when they eat from over 50 apple trees located throughout the campground.

Local Businesses Within Four Blocks

While visiting you might stop at one of several ice cream shops or a hometown bakery for some ice cream or an early morning Danish, have lunch at a local deli, stop for a beverage at any of several local watering holes, visit antique shops, or order custom leather goods at a specialty shop that has been in business for over 100 years! There is also a modern library, museum, and the historic Iron County Court House at the top of the hill.
