Camp Lake is an easy, flat hike of about 1.4 miles in the Kawishiwi Ranger District of Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota. The route is an out-and-back with no elevation gain, running between a low of about 1,376 feet and a high of about 1,390 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail lies within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Mining Protection Area Mineral Reserve Area. The trail is natural-surfaced and open year-round. Bikes are allowed, so it works for a walk or a ride. Summer is the most comfortable time to go.
