Just keeps getting better and better. Be sure to pack your food because the bar is a bad joke.

This place makes for a great getaway! River is right in the park. You can have a peaceful 2.5 hr or longer tube float. Plenty of awesome trails!

The Crow Wing River runs through this forest. The campground is a perfect starting point for tubing the river. In the summer there's a well for water and pit toilets year round. Many trails for fall grouse hunting. Close to the town of Menahga for supplies.

Very nice and secluded. Bathrooms and water on site. River is close and you can tube down to your campsite from Huntsville outfitters

A very beautiful State Forest. The Crow wing River is absolutely beautiful. Water is so clear you can see the bottom the entire journey. As you gently paddle your kayak there was no areas where we had to portage it was deep enough.
