Superior National Forest: Pfeiffer Lake Campground

Yesterday we decided to get out of town to do a little camping. We packed up the car, loaded the canoe on top and made the drive down to Cook and over to Pfeiffer Lake, a Superior National Forest Campground and recreation area. We arrived in cool drizzly weather and set up camp. We spent the rest of the day playing games near the campsite, exploring on foot
and sitting around the campfire.
We all enjoyed a few s'mores.

Today, we awoke to clearer skies. We had breakfast at the campsite, complete with coffee and hot chocolate.
Then we drove over to the campsite's namesake lake for a short paddle.
We explored a campsite that's only accessible by foot or boat and spied a small frog along the shore there.
Then we paddled back into a small bay where the surface of the water was covered by lily pads.
It was a quick paddle back to the boat launch along the other side of the lake.

After getting the canoe back up on the car, we took a short swim at the beach, then packed up camp. on the way home we made a side trip to the Leander Lake Picnic Area where we went for another swim. It made for a great end to our weekend.
