“Beautiful Scenery”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

A nice place to camp and swim in the summer. Lots of activities for kids. A good place to go for a day trip from Thunder Bay...or to camp for a few days. Lots of deer to see on the drive there. Its close to Silver Islet and the "Blue" store. Great for outdoor adventures. More
