Brimley has the warmest swimming water of any state park located on the usually frigid Lake Superior. Anglers fish the bay for northern pike and walleye. A scenic view of the Canadian highlands can be seen to the north. Take 6 Mile Road one mile east of Brimley.		 SHERMAN PARK CAMPGROUND

Here at this Hiawatha National Forest campground, 14 of the 24 rustic, private campsites (picnic tables, fire ring, vault toilets, hand pump) are steps away from the sandy Lake Superior beach in an area of mixed pines and hardwoods. Watch ships. Look for agates. Campground fills on some summer weekends and sometimes during the week in hot weather. There's nearby fishing at creek mouths. It's a mile from the popular Big Pine Picnic Area.

Right on the St. Mary's River just east of the Edison Sault Power Plant, this modern city-owned campground has 100 sites, 74 with electric and water, 26 with just electric. It's mostly used by RVs, but tent campers are welcome. Rates are $20/night (electric only), or $22 (full hookup). Don't expect much in the way of shade. There's a playground, dump station, boat launch, and new restroom/shower/laundry. Sites open up daily. Checkout time is noon. Come then and you'll most likely get a site. The park is named after Cliff Aune (pronounced ON-ee), the area engineer for the Corps of Engineers, and for ex-Governor Chase Osborn. His adopted daughter and widow (!) Stella Osborn lobbied hard to have her husband's name included in a public facility.

1225 Riverside Dr. (the eastward extension of Portage). Open from May 15, probably earlier, to Oct. 15. Wheelchair-access: shower buildings ADA accessible. Family-friendly. Dogs permitted on leash.
  THREE LAKES CAMPGROUND

A central but peaceful location on 19-acre Walker Lake is the chief asset of this 28-site Hiawatha National Forest campground. Its liability: more bugs than usual early in the season. From July through September it's better. 21 sites have immediate lake access. Anglers are the chief users. Perch are caught in Walker Lake. No motors are allowed. A picnic area is across the lake from the campgrounds. West across Forest Rd. 3142 is Whitemarsh Lake, with perch, pike, bass, and bullheads.

On Forest Road 3142, 2 miles south of M-28 at Strongs. $9. Open from mid-May 15 into mid-Oct. Handicap access: call.		 SOLDIER LAKE CAMPGROUND

-
Right off M-28 but away from highway noise, this Hiawatha National Forest campground is used mostly by overnighters. It hardly ever fills up, even on holiday weekends. 44 nonreservable, rustic sites (no showers, electricity, or flush toilets) almost surround a small 15-acre lake on which motors are prohibited. This is a place where campers who want seclusion can hardly see their neighbors. 24 sites are virtually on the water, not separated by a road, and all are close to it. There's a sandy beach and picnic area. The large, partially enclosed log shelter from the CCC era has a fireplace for cold weather. A trail winds around the lake. A quarter-mile connector between sites 38 and 39 leads to the North Country Trail.
-
South off M-28 via an entrance drive 5 miles east of Strongs or 7 miles west of Raco. $10. Open from mid-May 15 into mid-October. Handicap access: call. Dogs permitted on 6-foot leash
