Cadotte Lake Campground

Cadotte Lake Campground lines the western shore of Cadotte Lake in Superior National Forest. A boat ramp and fishing dock make the campground convenient for anglers, and the sandy swimming beach is popular among families.

Cadotte Campground is in a wooded area with private sites, some of which have views of the lake and access to trails that lead to the water. Some campsites can accommodate RVs up to 45 ft. in length.

The facility provides fishing areas, a boat ramp, dock and sandy beach.

Superior National Forest is known for its boreal forest ecosystem, numerous clean lakes and diversity of animals and plants. The campground lies in a mixed evergreen, birch and aspen forest.

The 318-acre Cadotte Lake is a great spot to fish for walleye and northern pike. The surrounding national forest offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities, including hiking in secluded woodlands and canoeing in pristine lakes and rivers.
