Chippewa/Wanaki Loop

Overview

Located within the lush expanses of the Chippewa National Forest, the Chippewa and Wanaki Loops at Stony Point offer a quintessential Minnesota lake experience.

Location & Surroundings

The park is situated on a peninsula, surrounded by the clear waters of Cass Lake and the smaller Buck Lake. Travelers will find themselves nestled under a canopy of mature oak, birch, and pine trees that provide ample shade and natural privacy between sites. The surrounding geography is defined by its navigable waterways and glacial terrain, offering a quiet environment where the sounds of the forest take center stage over any nearby highway noise.

The Chippewa/Wanaki Loop provides electric hookups at most sites, accommodating various rig sizes with paved pads. While individual sewer hookups are not available, the park features a convenient on-site dump station and pressurized water spigots for filling tanks. Visitors have access to modern restrooms with flush toilets and hot showers. For those bringing boats, the nearby concrete launch ramps make it simple to get out on the water for a day of exploration or sport.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Outdoor recreation is the primary draw here, with the Migizi Trail offering miles of paved paths for hiking and biking through the dense forest. Cass Lake is legendary for its walleye and northern pike fishing, and many visitors enjoy boating to the unique Star Island, which contains its own lake within the island. The nearby town of Cass Lake provides essential supplies, while the surrounding national forest offers endless birdwatching and wildlife photography opportunities for those with a keen eye.

Who This Park Is Best For

This destination is ideal for nature enthusiasts and anglers who prefer a peaceful, government-managed forest environment over a busy commercial resort. It is a perfect fit for families looking to disconnect and enjoy traditional camping activities like shore fishing and evening campfires. Because of the spacious wooded sites, it also appeals to RVers seeking a sense of solitude while still having access to reliable electricity and clean bathhouse facilities during their stay.
