Picnic Point is a Forest Service campground in the Medford-Park Falls Ranger District of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in northern Wisconsin. It sits within the national forest's boundaries, and the Forest Service manages the land. The site is a simple base for an overnight stay. Vault toilets are the only listed amenity, and a fee is charged for use. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Medford weather station show July highs around 79°F with lows near 57°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. West Point campground is less than a mile away, and the Mondeaux River East and West Hwt hikes are both within about a mile and a half. Paddlers can reach the Black River, roughly 7 miles off.
