About Three Lakes Campground

Three Lakes Campground is a peaceful, quiet camp tucked away from the busy highway (M28). Camp among towering red and white pine, white spruce, birch and sugar maple trees as the birds serenade you below. The campground runs along the shore of Walker Lake, but visitors enjoy the added bonus of having two other lakes nearby: Whitmarsh and Brown lakes, for a total of three lakes. The 1.5-mile [Walker Lake Trail](https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/hiawatha/recreation/hiking/recarea/?recid=13351&actid=50) connects the campground to the adjacent picnic area.
