Triangle Lake Campsites

About

The Munising and Rapid River/Manistique Ranger Districts of the Hiawatha National Forest offer a variety of camping experiences. Many are located on inland lakes in a rustic forest environment with no drinking water. The rustic environment offers a wonderfully serene and peaceful setting for your next camping experience.Located in the heart of the Ironjaw Semi-Primitive Area, Triangle Lake is managed for both motorized and non-motorized uses. Both campsites on Triangle Lake are located on the non-motorized Pine Marten Run Trail and horse camping is allowed. Site 1 is a long, narrow site located on a level, sandy strip of land between the lake and a small wetland pond. The site is about 100 ft x 30 ft and is suitable for three families and trailers. There is good access via Forest Road 2734, however turn-around space is very limited . Site 2 is located in a wooded lowland. It is 40 ft x 40 ft and is sutable for one family. Although the access road is in fair condition, trailers are not recommended because of the limited turn-around space. There are a number of horse, bike, and hiking trails within minutes of several of the sites. In over a mile from these campsites, visitors can expect to find: bait shops, general and grocery stores, gas, a pay phone, trailheads, a fishing pier, biking, and kayak/canoe rentals. Visitors will be able to enjoy swimming, berry picking, and fishing at these dispersed campsites. Licenses are required for fishing in Michigan waters. Our management efforts seek to provide for quiet, peaceful recreation opportunities in a semi-primitive setting. Swimming conditions vary by site. Site 1 has excellent swimming conditions, swimming is NOT recommended at site 2.
