Rolling hills forested with northern hardwoods, white pine and hemlock, flatland covered by red pine, jack pine and aspen, and large open and tree covered wetlands form the 879,000 acres of the Hiawatha National Forest.

The popular Horseshoe Bay Trail begins at the campground and winds through the 3,800-acre Horseshoe Bay Wilderness area, ending at the beautiful sandy beach at Lake Huron.
