How much of the campground is plowed? Access to campsites?" They do not plow the road or the parking lot. If you can get back there, the campsites are really close.

DKalis	01/13/2020 01:42PM   I took my first winter camping trip last February and stayed on Fall Lake. The dogs and I stayed in a portable fish house just off the dog sled trail right on Fall Lake. Four mile portage presents nice opportunities for day trips.
scrubsonny	12/27/2019 10:32PM   My 15 yr old daughter and I are looking to go winter camping. Need your recommendations on what lake we should go to. I was thinking Wood Lake, Farm lake, Lake One or Moose Lake. We would like to either be in a lake near Ely or on the Echo Trail. We have experience in the BWCA in the summer but never the winter. We are looking to do 3 days. Thanks for your help.

TuscaroraBorealis	12/28/2019 05:47PM   Some helpful information here. Also, you will probably get better traction (pun intended) by posting your question in the Winter camping forum.
