Old timers categorized anything north of Highway 29 as the "north woods." Being 80 miles north of 29, Trego lies in the north woods along the Namekagon River and within the 252 mile river corridor of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. A century ago this area of north-western Wisconsin was dotted with logging camps and the river was used to convey logs south to saw mills. Now the area is again wooded and a water sport haven for canoes, inner tubes and kayaks. Nearby trails offer biking, hiking, ATV and snowmobile sports.

This municipal park has 50 sites for both tents and RVs. Most sites have water and electric hookups. Sites are fairly roomy with level parking on grass. Each site has a table, fire ring and 30/50 amp service.
The park has a dump station, flush toilets and showers, several park shelters and a boat landing. The rest room building is dated, but we found it to be remarkably clean. Hot showers cost 50 cents for 6 minutes. Most of the occupied sites were taken by seasonal campers.
We found the park to be a bit expensive at $25 plus $5 for electricity per night. We stayed three nights. But our time there was marred by several rain events day and night. Once the rain broke we hiked to the boat dock:
The park is conveniently located near Spooner and Hayward. We would stay here again.
