IRON LAKE CAMPGROUND

Iron Lake is a unique campground due to its remote location and small size. Fishing and canoeing are its biggest draws, as the lake has walleye and northern pike and provides access to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. There are seven sites (5 reservable and 2 first come/ first served). It is in an area burned over in the 2007 Ham Lake fire, and visitors can see post fire ecology including uncommon black-backed woodpeckers. Please stay on trails and roads; burned areas have hazards and forest renewal can be fragile. If you enter the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, you will need to have a permit and follow wilderness regulations including group size.
