Camping at Black River Harbor Campground near Ironwood

Outdoors options cluster tightly here: the harbor area is one of the few local public access points to Lake Superior, offering fishing, boating and fishing charter departures from the dock, while trails along the Black River lead to a series of waterfalls look for the tannin-stained water that comes from hemlock stands upstream. Fees are separate for camping and day use: campsites are $16 per night; use of the nearby recreation area and boat landing requires a $5 per-vehicle day fee from May 15 September 30 (or a seasonal pass for $30 that covers Lake Ottawa, Sylvania and Black River Harbor).
