No road access for tents or RVs, no potable water, no cell service, and no camp store mean this only works if you're arriving by paddle. Hikers or anyone expecting a drive-in site should look elsewhere on the trail.

The Lake Traverse Project is a multipurpose project located on the Minnesota ? South Dakota border. The project consists of two dams, one dike and two lakes, Traverse and Mud. The main purpose of the project is to control flooding along the northward flowing Bois de Souix River, which joins the Ottertail River to become the Red River of the North. The significant feature of the project is the Browns Valley Dike on the south end of Lake Traverse, keeping it separate from Big Stone Lake. The dike sits on the continental divide, which marks the outlet of Glacial Lake Agassiz. Waters on the north side of the dike flow into Hudson?s Bay, and on the south, waters flow into the Minnesota River and on to the Mississippi River.

Summer brings special magic to Peacock Slough when graceful swallow-tailed kites arrive to nest and hunt above the river. Watch these striking black-and-white raptors soar and dive with acrobatic precision—a sight that makes paddling through the humid Florida summer worthwhile. Plan your visit around this seasonal spectacle, though the Suwannee's beauty rewards explorers year-round.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.
