Shoepac Lake State Forest Campground

28 sites for tent and small trailer use. Natural limestone sinkholes in the area create an interesting topography that can be explored along hiking/biking trails through the campground and surrounding area. Rustic campground includes vault toilets and potable water from a well hand pump.

Birding Site: From the intersection of Tomahawk Creek Highway and Shoepac Road (which is the northward extension of Dam Road), head north for 1.0 mile. You will drive past Shoepac Lake, then watch for signs and the parking area for the sinkholes.

The mixed aspen/pine woods here have nesting Red-eyed Vireos, Least Flycatchers, and American Redstarts. Marked pathways surround the sinkhole and make for an interesting walk. For safety reasons, please do not attempt to climb down into the sinkhole!
