A spur trail connects the campground to the North Country National Scenic Trail, one of the most popular trail systems in the area, that includes hiking and snowshoeing during the winter months. There is no day use or long term parking for visitors entering the North Country National Scenic Trail within the campground. The Beaver Lake Recreation Area is near popular local site-seeing spots St. Peter's Dome and Morgan Falls. It's a short hike or drive from the Marengo Semi-primitive Non-motorized area. In addition, there are mountain bike opportunities on the CAMBA trail system and Rock Lake National Recreation Trail. So, if you like to camp, boat, fish, and hike, then the Beaver Lake recreation area is the place for you, located just 15 minutes northwest of Mellen. Don't forget your canine friends. Beaver Lake is one of our dog friendly Recreation Areas. Dogs must be well behaved and leashed at all times.
