About

The Durfee Creek Watercraft Campsite is a primitive campsite located on the Lake Superior Water Trail, within the Grand Portage Indian Reservation. It has limited public access points and requires prior authorization for use. The campsite is situated near the mouth of the Brule River, where you can paddle upstream if the water is high enough. The nearby Judge C.R. Magney State Park offers picnic tables, hiking trails, and scenic views of the river. The area is known for its cobble and sand beaches, low basalt rock outcrops, and rich natural and cultural history. Visitors are advised to respect private property, camp only in designated areas, and follow safety guidelines for kayaking and canoeing on Lake Superior. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources provides information on camping, water trail planning, and safety precautions.
