Location Information
Three Lakes Campground is a peaceful, quiet camp tucked out of the way from the busy highway among red pine, white pine, white spruce, and sugar maple trees. It is 2 miles south of M-28 at Strongs Corner, on Forest Road 3142 approximately 38 miles west of Sault Ste. Marie. Although the campground is on Walker Lake, it is actually nestled between three lakes. There are 28 campsites, all easily accessible to the lake. Tables and fire rings are at each site. Drinking water and toilets are conveniently located. A picnic area with water, tables, grills, and toilets is located on the lake across from the campground. Along FR 3142 is a small ball field available for game play. There is no specific beach for swimming, although there are sandy areas along the water. Swim at your own risk. A carry-in boat access is located to the left of the picnic area. Motors are prohibited. Rainbow trout are the principle fish caught in the 19-acre Walker Lake. Whitemarsh Lake, on the west side of the road, has crappie, perch and bullhead. The Walker Lake Loop Trail takes off from the picnic area goes around the lake. This is a nice easy 1-mile walk along the lake on sandy beaches and through forested areas. The setting sun sinking behind the tall spires of the pines can be very beautiful. Grocers and supplies are available at Strongs Corner. Camp Stamps and Golden Age Passports are accepted.
