Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest
Boulder Lake Campground
We enjoyed camping here over labor day and plan to return next year. Check it out as it has some of the best campsites we have seen anywhere along with new shower/bathrooms. This park also has small and large group camp areas with their own shower/bathroom facility.
Boulder lake is a fishing and swimming lake. They have designated wake times for those who wish to ski or use personal watercrafts.
There are hiking trails and many places around the area that offer Wolf river rafting trips. Yes the Wolf river is within a few miles of this camground. Opportunities are many in this area for all types of activities.
I call this campground a MUST for any avid camper.
