Ben Lynn Watercraft Campsite

Big Falls, Minnesota

About

The Ben Lynn Watercraft Campsite is located along the Big Fork River in Minnesota. The river flows north to the Rainy River, passing through a forest of pine, spruce, fir, cedar, aspen, and birch. The area is known for its excellent fishing for walleye, northern pike, and muskie. The river's water level usually peaks in late April and falls during the summer when the rapids may be impassable. The campsite is near the Koochiching State Forest and offers scenic views and opportunities for recreation. Visitors can explore the surrounding state forests, including Pine Island, Koochiching, and Big Fork, and enjoy activities such as fishing, camping, and hiking. The campsite is also near the Chippewa National Forest and Scenic State Park, which offer additional recreational opportunities. The area depends on a healthy environment, and visitors are encouraged to protect the river by cleaning off aquatic plants and animals, draining water, and disposing of unwanted bait in the trash.
