On the lookout for my Hiawatha National forest passport stamp I stopped in here since we were nearby. I love going to all the random national park and forest offices, especially the quiet ones like these because the rangers are always so kind and helpful. While they didn’t have stamps (I doubt they get many walk ins, haha) they were so nice and gave my son tons of Smokey swag and gave us hiking tips. They were going to get some park stamps from another office so if you’re in the area they might have the stamps now! They have water refills and bathrooms too plus tons of materials and trail maps. I think I prefer these national forest offices to the bigger national park ones because the rangers have more time to talk. Make sure to support our parks and forests!! Thank you to the rangers working there and at all the forests. I always enjoy the time I spend in the ranger offices.

Not a campground, it is a great place to get maps and information on the area. The staff was so helpful and made me feel at home in the forest.
