In addition to 25 miles of designated mountain biking trails, there are also 5.6 miles of Class I all-terrain vehicle and off-highway motorcycling trails. If you’re visiting during the winter months, you can take advantage of the cross-country skiing routes and the 21-mile Moose Walk Snowmobile rail.Just over an hour’s drive from the Fisherman’s Point Campground is the Tettegouche State Park, which encompasses 9,346 acres and six inland lakes along the shores of Lake Superior.

You can stretch your legs on the 22 miles of hiking trails that wind through the park, including part of the 310-mile Superior Hiking Trail, or take advantage of the Red Dot motorized trail that's accessible to ATVs.
