Campground details
Setting
Gooseneck Lake offers three rustic dispersed campsites on a 123-acre lake in Hiawatha National Forest. Site 1 (40x30 ft, single family, no trailers) and Site 3 (100x70 ft, multi-family, trailer friendly) feature primitive vault toilets, while Site 4 (70x45 ft, single family) has shallow beach access but no toilet. An improved public back-in boat ramp is located near Site 1. No drinking water is available on site. Motorized watercraft use the lake, and fishing is popular for walleye, bass, and pike.
