Harriet Lake Rustic Campground is located at the site of an abandoned farm. There are 9 campsites located in the campground and the open land around these sites now hosts a variety of coneflowers and other plants not common in a boreal forest. It also provides opportunities for group picnicking. The lake itself is accessed by a boat ramp and dock and supports walleye, northern pike, and crappies. There is no garbage pick up at Harriet Lake Rustic Campground. Plan to pack out all your garbage, including fish remains from cleaning fish.
