Review:

Hiawatha National Forest is an 894,836-acre protected area which was established in 1931. The national forest comprises six designated wilderness areas which visitors can explore: Round Island Wilderness, Rock River Canyon Wilderness, Horseshoe Bay Wilderness, Delirium Wilderness, Mackinac Wilderness, and Big Island Lake Wilderness. There are also five National Wild and Scenic Rivers located within Hiawatha: Whitefish River, Indian River, Carp River, Tahquamenon River, and Sturgeon River. There is so much that you can see and do while you’re there, but the most popular activity that most visitors come to the park for is camping. Favored campgrounds include Carp River Campground, which allows fishing, Bay View Campground, which has a secluded beach, and Monocle Lake Campground, which is great for RV campers.
