Blind Sucker #2 State Forest Campground Boat Launch

The two-track access road is washboard gravel for about 5 miles — plan on crawling at 5 mph. If you're towing anything bigger than a 16-footer, take it slow or you'll rattle your trailer apart. Not a place you stumble into by accident unless you're already lost in Luce County.

The flooding is weedy and shallow with plenty of submerged stumps and downed trees lurking just below the surface. This is small boat and kayak water — don't bring anything with a deep draft or a prop you care about. Idle speed and eyes forward the whole way.

Only three spots for trailers, but honestly you're rarely competing for them. This place is remote enough that even peak summer weekends aren't a circus. If Muskallonge Lake State Park is doing construction and pushing overflow your way, weekday mornings are your safest bet.

There is absolutely no cell service out here — not weak signal, not one bar if you hold your phone up, just nothing. Download your maps before you leave Grand Marais and let someone know your plan. GPS can get squirrelly on these forest roads too.

Special regulations on pike fishing here, so check the current inland waters order before you wet a line. Pike and perch are the main draw — guys have been pulling 22–26 inch pike out of here for decades. Fishing quality can be hit or miss in early July, but fall trips tend to be more productive and you'll likely have the whole flooding to yourself.
