, Pine Marten Run Trail, Ironjaw Semi-Primitive Area
Anglers and paddlers who pack in their own water will get the most out of this place. Fall is the sweet spot: rainbow trout feed actively, the hardwoods turn color, bugs thin out, and a single-site reservation on Lake Nineteen means you have the eastern shore entirely to yourself
No toilets and no potable water are non-negotiable here, so car campers expecting even basic facilities will be disappointed. The boat launch is a steep dead-end requiring trailers to be backed down the hill, which is a real problem without a spotter or experience maneuvering tig

<p>The campsite on the eastern shore of Lake Nineteen can only be accessed by boat, or by foot or horseback from the Pine Marten Run Trail. Like its neighbor Ironjaw Lake to the west, is also located in the heart of the Ironjaw Semi-Primitive Area, which is managed for both motorized and non-motorized uses. Our management efforts seek to provide for quiet, peaceful recreation opportunities in a semi-primitive setting. The campsite is small and suitable for one family with tents. Parking is available on the west side of the lake. There is no toilet or drinking water available at this site. The swimming area is poor. The boat access to Lake Nineteen is steep, but the road is firm. There is no turn-around at the base of the hill; trailers must be backed down to the lake. Parking is restricted to a small area located at the top of the hill. Lake Nineteen has been stocked with rainbow trout.</p>

Fall is the best time to visit. September and early October bring daytime highs in the 45-60°F range with nights dipping into the 30s and 40s. The cool weather creates stable conditions for fishing as trout feed heavily before winter, and northern hardwood trees turn brilliant colors. Mosquito and tick pressure drops significantly compared to summer, making hiking and shore fishing more comfortable. The single campsite feels especially quiet as crowds thin out. Water stays calm for late-season paddling.
Overview states fall (Sept–early Oct) is the best time; cool stable conditions for fishing.
