Long Island Lake

Long Island lake is a large, island-dotted lake roughly inbetween the Sawbill Trail and the Gunflint Trail. It is a popular destination lake, boasting 13 campsites.

The lake is essentially comprised of a large bay in the northwest corner (connected to Karl Lake via a 35 rod portage) and the main, uneven body of the lake, connected to Karl Lake by a narrow water channel. The northeastern bay hosts approximately three campsites, all of which are fairly good.

  • The site on the northeastern shore, near the portage to Karl, is desirable for its swimming options. The site itself has a decent beach, but the landing for the portage to Karl is one big, long beach, ideal for swimming.
  • The island campsite is large, with numerous options for tent sites. It has a good landing, but not great water access (for swimming or sitting on the shore).
  • The site on the point in the northwestern part of the bay is a good all-around site, with a nice rocky point, sheltered fire grate, and decent swimming. Tent pads are a little scarce. There is an additional tent pad quite a ways back in the woods, about halfway to the latrine.
