The best viewing areas were blocked off for private researchers, which I guess I get. We had a nice hike, and the trails are not the best marked. Once you get off the main area, it's just a nice place to take a walk. But the views from the main ridge area are fabulous.

It's quite popular, with many people jogging, walking their dogs, and overall enjoying the outdoors. The path is nicely paved and well maintained. Plenty of benches and great places to take photos. I enjoyed my visit during the summer, but I'm not sure how popular it is during the winter. Beware, this walk takes you past Love Creamery. It's hard to resist ordering a scoop or malt when you walk past, especially on a hot summer day. This is also a great place to people watch, if you're interested in that type of stuff. As far as parking, there's no dedicate lot as far as I know, but plenty of street parking.

The lakes and rivers are just beautiful. We saw so many loons, bald Eagles, and other small wildlife (chipmunks...lots of chipmunks...). Campsites are quite nice with fire rings, grates and flat tent areas. There are also "government boxes" into the woods behind each campsite which eliminate the task of digging holes when nature calls. Portages are evil...my advice is to keep gear as light as possible...think backpacking...not car camping... Be ready for rain; this is the north woods of the Midwest after all! We had an extra layer of plastic in the bottom of our tents and were very glad we did this when we got soaked with 5-1/2 inches of rain and water soaked up through the bottom of our tents. The plastic kept our sleeping bags dry! Read up on the area, learn to read maps and use a compass and do at least a few nights of backcountry camping and some day paddling before heading up here, but if you've done that, don't be intimidated by the area if you are a first timer!

A short walk from the campground itself gives you access to a decent put-in/take-out location for running the river. There are a couple good steelhead holes nearby as well.
