BEWABIC STATE PARK
A 137-site campground is situated in a shady, wooded site with buffer strips between most of the sites. Bewabic has picnic areas, a tennis court, a hiking trail, two playgrounds, an excellent beach and a boat launch to Fortune Lake. It is also part of the Iron County Heritage Trail system. The 2.5 mile ski trail will be groomed for both classical and skating style skiing. The park is also open to individuals who want to snowshoe. However, the snowshoe enthusiast must use alternate areas other than the groomed ski trails. The hiking trail to the south of the park is ideal for snowshoeing.
