| If you prefer camping, we recommend the outstanding
Fenske Lake Campground. There are 15 sites plus one group site for 10-25
people. The sites are on a ridge between Burntside and Fenske Lakes, just
off Echo Trail 10 miles north of Ely. The three pix shown here are of Fenske
Lake, a long, narrow, quiet and beautiful lake which connects to three other
lakes. The photo at right shows the swimming beach. Below left is a photo
looking down the lake from the canoe launching ramp. Below right is two
miles up the lake. |

A 750 foot walkway winds down from the campsites on the ridge
to the lakeshore. A fishing pier juts out into the lake. The group site
perches on a rock ledge with spectacular views looking down the lake. All
sites include picnic tables and fire grates and five are short walks into
the dense woods for added privacy. Sites #13, 14 and 15 are closest to the
dock, beach, and restrooms, but #7 is a walk in site looking out over the
lake. For a couple, family or group of six or less, we think it's ideal. |
