Norway Beach Loop

First built by the Civilian Conservation Corp. in the midst of the Great Depression, the Norway Beach Loop is part of the much broader Chippewa National Forest. Because of this, it contains several opportunities for hiking and nature spotting, in addition to its warm weather recreation options.

If you're planning on spending an evening or two on the Norway Beach Loop, there are only 29 total sites, so it's best to get your reservations in as soon as possible. These sites are all primitive, offering no water or electrical connections. Coin-operated showers and modern toilets are centrally located, and every site comes standard with a campfire ring and picnic table. Guests with dogs should keep them in their tents or RVs overnight, as well as on a leash throughout their stay.

Taking Fido for a walk here is easy, thanks to the nearby trails that populate the region. For guests looking to have a short expedition, the Norway Beach Interpretive Trail is your best bet. This series of paths host several information stations where you can learn about the surrounding scenery, as well as regularly placed refuse bins to take care of any dog waste that Fido may drop. Be sure that your dog is on a leash while checking out the local flora and fauna so that they don't get loose and chase a squirrel or two.

Cass Lake is found just to the east of the Norway Beach Loop, offering swimming opportunities for overnight guests throughout the warmer months. The public swimming here is supervised during the season so that guests can splash around free from worry. Make sure to keep Fido clear of the public swimming areas if they're along for your camping trip, as public areas like the beach are strictly off-limits.

Due to the Norway Beach Loop being a part of the greater Chippewa National Forest, there are several opportunities for fun surrounding the campground. Potential visitors are warned that these opportunities for recreation may incur fees not listed on this page.
