About
Free camping often comes with a beautiful hike or paddle, and when you get there it can be hit or miss if they are full since they are all first come first serve. Be prepared to have to continue on to the next area or return to your last point so you are not caught off guard or end up recking a wonderful experience for someone else. And remember to be mindful that much of the Superior Hiking Trail is on private land and they owner can remove it from the system if you are not respectful of this gift.
South Bally Creek Pond Campsites are located on the Superior Hiking Trail and can be reached by traveling approximately 3 miles from the SHT overnight parking lot just north of Cty Rd 6, where it cuts back to the east, where 115F (dirt road) heads north. It can also be reached by parking at the SHT Bally Creek Road trail system lot on Cty Rd 48/158 and hiking .2 Miles East. Remoteness and closeness of trail to gorges make advance planning important.
Water from Beaver Pond if filtered.
