Chimney Loop Campground is located on the shores of Wagner Lake. Wagner Lake is a shallow sandy bottom lake that is entirely surrounded by National Forest. The lake has excellent bass and pan fish fishing. Chimney Loop campground can accommodate groups of up to 30 people and six cars.
Water Activities: Wagner Lake provides visitors opportunites for swimming and beach play. Non-motorized watercraft such as canoes and kayaks can be carried into Wagner Lake. Anglers can try their luck from shore, wadding, or by boat to catch bass and pan fish.
Facilities at Chimney Loop Campground include a vault toilet, three picnic tables, three fire rings, and use of a historic chimney. Garbage service and handpump wells for drinking water are provided around the corner at Wagner Lake Campground.
The Chimeny Loop group site is set in a forest of oak and pine trees. A very short walk from the shores of Wagner Lake makes this the perfect destination for visitors looking for some solitude. Chimney Loop Campground is located just a short drive from the AuSable River and is close to ORV trails.
From Grayling: Travel east on M-72 for 30 miles. Turn right and travel south on M-33 for 7 miles. Turn right and travel west on Wagner Lake Rd. for 1.5 miles. The site is located on the left.
