Washburn County Forest Road 211 Dispersed Sites
Dispersed Camping
Forest Road 211 cuts through Washburn County Forest land with dispersed sites scattered along a 3-mile stretch between Beaver Dam Lake and Shell Lake. Sites are on sandy soil under mixed pine and oak, with decent spacing and natural fire rings at most spots. The area stays relatively quiet except during fishing season when nearby boat launches see more traffic.
The forest road is maintained gravel suitable for any vehicle, though sites themselves may require pulling onto sandy two-tracks. Spring can be muddy and some low spots hold water after heavy rains. Cell service is spotty but improves near the boat launches. No water or facilities – bring everything you need.
