Overview

Three Lakes Campground is a peaceful facility tucked away from the busy highway. It is nestled between Whitmarsh, Brown and Walker Lakes, giving visitors ample opportunity to enjoy and explore nature at its best.

The campground is set among a variety of pine, spruce and maple trees on land sandwiched between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Whitmarsh, Brown and Walker Lakes dot the landscape the the west of the campground.

Recreation:

The three lakes are open to non-motorized boating. A carry-down boat ramp is located at the campground's picnic area. Fishing is a popular activity. Rainbow trout, perch and catfish are found in the lakes. Although there is no designated swimming beach, sandy areas are located along the shores of the three lakes.

Hikers enjoy the serene atmosphere of the campground. The Walker Loop Trail begins within the campground, near the picnic area, and leads hikers around the perimeter of Walker Lake. The trail is easy hiking and traverses about 1.15 miles.
