Mowe Lake Campsites

There are two primitive campsites located on the 25 acre Mowe Lake. The access road is narrow, but capable of handling moderate sized vehicles and trailers. No water is provided at this site, but there is a primitive toilet. Neither site on Mowe Lake has a good swimming area. There is an unimproved access located across from site #2. It has a sand base and is recommended for small boats and trailers only. Mowe Lake contains northern pike, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. Surveys indicate a good, healthy fishery.
