Fox Lake Campground Of Bemidji

The Great Outdoors

One major reason to RV camp at Fox Lake Campground of Bemidji is its close proximity to several state parks and state forests. The pinewoods of Lake Bemidji State Park surrounds Lake Bemidji, sheltering it from the worst of the weather. Several miles of trails wind and weave through the dense woods, some of which are old-growth, untouched by man for hundreds of years. Bring your camera or a birding checklist and look to the sky. Bald eagles, ospreys, and hawks have nests in the area and can frequently be spotted soaring in the wild blue yonder as they search for easy prey. Wildlife is abundant in these woods. Though white-tailed deer are the most common, sharp-eyed adventurers may spot an occasional shy black bear as it forages for berries, a barred owl, or beavers. Songbirds and waterfowl, too, are common; it’s estimated that there are over 200 different species of birds that can be spotted in different habitats that make up Lake Bemidji State Park.A little cold and snow will not stop people from having fun in winter. Most of the trails remain open year-round. As soon as snow blankets the woods, transforming the terrain into a magical wonderland, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing are allowed on the groomed trails. A couple of the trails are open to snowmobiles, and they also connect with an intricate trail system that connects to the neighboring parks. Ice fishing, too, is an activity enjoyed by many. Many fishermen either bring their own equipment or rent it in the town and simply walk out onto the ice to drill holes into its surface. Some fishermen with patience - and time - may also construct simple sheds on the ice to make their experience a more comfortable one.
