Wasa Lake Campground Loop Description

Hiking the Wasa Lake Campground Loop is a short and fun outdoor activity that will allow you to experience the natural beauty of the valley landscape surrounding Wasa, all while meandering through a tranquil forest atmosphere. Setting out from the campground, follow the trail to the east as it leads directly into the dense forest cover.
