I'd steer clear of the area above Rebecca Falls.

Are there any good swimming spots on Iron Lake? We will be going mid-summer this year to a lake I have not been on in more than 12 years at least.

Beach site on the far east side, just SE of Curtain Falls. Other areas near 3 island -- just S in a pinch between an island and shore.

the lsland site has a nice, albeit rocky beach.


wear foot protection - both for the rocks as well as fish hooks. Iron is full of both.

We stayed at one of the northwest campsites on that rocky point and swam to the island and back. Nice and deep right off the rocks at camp. Depends if you’re looking for sandy beach or jump rocks. Also just at the bottom of Curtain falls has a nice little swimming hole. Beautiful lake

I agree. But I won't judge how others enjoy their own trip.


I'd go fishing too.
