About this place

This lake is situated 9.5 miles West of Northport. The lake is now in two segments, the North 7.1 acres are a marshy area, and the South is 6.4 acres with a steep path down from the campground. This campground is quiet and off the beaten path. It's a great place to really get away. Sites are more suited to tent camping than trailers or large RVs.
