Description

Follow the Heritage Drive Scenic Byway to one of the most popular camping areas in the Nicolet located on the shores of crystal-clear Franklin Lake. This 881-acre lake provides excellent swimming, boating, and fishing. Historic stone and log structures and campsites mixed with tall pines and hemlocks are perched near the lake's edge--a beautiful setting for this campground that is on the National Registers of Historic Places. An interpretive center and naturalist programs are featured throughout the summer. In addition, a one-mile interpretive trail which passes Butternut Lake is available for every season. Numerous other trails are nearby, including the Hidden Lakes Trail connecting to Luna-White Deer Campground, as well as a six-mile trail to Anvil Lake Campground.

I've been coming to Franklin Lake Camprgound since I was 2 years old, now I'm 13. I go every year with my parents for two weeks and have a friend come with. The roads are fantastic for biking and longboarding, and the hiking trails are nice. The only bad thing is that last year the water was very low. If the water wasn't low, it would be 5 stars for me. It is the best camping spot ever.
