Located adjacent to the Laura Lake Campground, this trail circles Laura Lake and passes through a forest of northern hardwoods, hemlocks, and balsams. Bring your binoculars as there are frequent observations of loons and osprey on this quiet lake, which is restricted to electric motors only. A bench is located along the shoreline at the half-way point. A short walk to the north leads to a small bog lake that you may want to explore. Look for the white diamond-shaped reassurance markers that designate this trail.
Follow U.S. Highway 8 north and east from Laona 14 miles. Turn left on FR 2163 and drive 5 miles north to Laura Lake Campground. The trailhead is located between the swim area and the boat ramp. Parking is available for 2 vehicles at the trailhead with additional parking for 5 vehicles at the boat ramp parking lot.
You can also click on the marker on the map to get Google directions to the trailhead.
