About Yankee Springs Deep Lake Campground

Natural Features and SceneryImagine waking beneath a cathedral of mature hardwoods, where dappled sunlight filters through leaves and privacy comes naturally between well-spaced sites. Deep Lake glimmers just steps away, inviting quiet mornings of fishing or launching a canoe from the simple boat access. Beyond your campsite, the Yankee Springs landscape unfolds in classic glacial beauty—rolling hills carved by ancient ice, gem-like kettle lakes nestled in valleys, and miles of forested trails waiting to be explored on foot or mountain bike.
