Anyone been up to Turtle Lake in the past year or so?
How is the regrowth?
Fishing reports sounds pretty good, just wondering on the scenery.
Heard the island campsite is the way to go.

backwoods,
Seems to me that there was a report last season that the island campsite on Turtle had been permanently closed. You might want to check that out with the forest service.

Camp up on Clearwater and day trip for the fishing.

Clearwater was only impacted by the fire on the southern shore. The majority of the lake is untouched. Not as busy traffic wise, water is pretty clear (hence the name) and the fishing is ok. Easy day trip to Turtle and other lakes.

-my 2 cents-turtle lake is not really a lake i would pick to camp on,even before the fire-it's shallow,the water smells nasty & and the shoreline is less than picturesque-i did slay some big pike there a couple times,got skunked once-it's that kind of lake-there are much nicer lakes nearby to camp on-it's a day trip lake in my opinion
