Road Access
Rough
- All 2 miles of this road are maintained for high-clearance vehicles, dirt the whole way.
- Terrain estimates suggest level ground alongside most of this road; parking areas are not verified.
Setting
Some privacy
- Moderately separated here.
- Open country, with nothing named rising within 30 miles.
- The Lake Thirteen shoreline is 0.6 mi off.
Rules
- Camping is allowed in general National Forest areas for no longer than 16-days in any one location. After that period of time, if you wish to continue camping in a dispersed area of the Ottawa National Forest, you must relocate to another site at least five miles away. This means you may not set up a dispersed campsite within a developed campground or adjacent to it, or on a road, or on a trail.
