Location Information
Dogtown Lake got its name from the extensive prairie dog towns that once covered open areas near the lake. In spite of the name, this medium-sized body of water is actually surrounded by trees. Today, you'll find fewer prairie dogs than forest visitors, who've come to camp and fish for the trout, crappies, and channel cats stocked here.Near the lake, visitors can enjoy a guided nature trail and a hiking trail that leads to a scenic overlook of the area from the top of nearby Davenport Hill. FACILITIES: There are 51 campsites with picnic tables and fire rings and 1 group site. There is a small boat-launch ramp. Pit toilets and water faucets are scattered throughout the campground. Water is not available during winter months. Power boats are limited to single electric motors of 1 HP or less.
