Section 29 Lake Rustic Campground

This small four site campground is on the shore of Section 29 Lake, which is of course located in section 29 of a township.  While it doesn't have the most romantic of names, this lake does have a boat ramp and walleyes and northern pike.  It is also only a short drive to several other small lakes, most with carry down access. There is a drive down boat ramp at the campground.
