Pretty Lakes Quiet Area path and canoeing

-
This area, part of the Lake Superior State Forest, rates very, very high as an ideal camping and day-use activity location, in the opinion of one experienced outdoorsman with high aesthetic standards. Five small lakes are linked by canoe portages which stand out clearly as pathway openings. A short (about 2/3 mile) hiking path connects three of the lakes.

There’s fishing for splake, walleye, and perch in Pretty Lake, and for rainbow trout in Camp 8 Lake. Canoe campsites are at every portage and one other location, and an 18-unit rustic campground is at Pretty Lake.
