About Brush Lake Campground
[](https://www.flickr.com/photos/usfs-hmnf/albums/72157664104968285) The campground is located on the shores of Brush Lake, which is entirely surrounded by National Forest System lands. There is a drive-in boat launch on the eastern shore of the river and a smaller carry-in boat launch in the campground. This site is very popular with anglers and hunters. It is also a popular wildlife viewing area and a good stop for viewing fall colors. **[Flickr Photo Album](https://www.flickr.com/photos/usfs-hmnf/albums/72157664104968285)**
