Let’s start thinking about a fun weekend camping trip when warmer weather finally returns to our area. Several members of the Group are interested in camping at the Bois Brule Campground in the Brule River State Forest near Superior, WI not far from Lake Superior on Memorial Day Weekend. The campground is located right next to the rushing Brule River in a quiet shaded grove of huge pine trees. We intend to paddle a segment of the Brule River and Brule River Canoe Rental (they also carry kayaks) is located close by. The scenic North Country Hiking Trail passes by within a mile of the campground and there are mountain biking trails in the area as well. I have rented Campsite No. 9 in the Bois Brule Campground. If you would like to join us for this special weekend, you will need to reserve a campsite through the Wisconsin State Parks reservation system (see link below). Several remain available as of now, but I recommend booking soon if you are interested. I believe there is a limit of 6 people and 2 vehicles per campsite. We may cook some meals and get together for a campfire in the evenings, but otherwise the weekend will be yours to enjoy. You need to arrange your own transportation. We’ll discuss carpooling arrangements once we see how many attend as the time draws closer. If this goes well, we may do more camping trips in the warmer months. Hope you will join us and think Spring! Please post in the event chat with your Campsite Number and who will be sharing your campsite if you plan to share once you have booked a campsite. Thanks. 😊
