Natural Features
Located in the heart of the Ironjaw Semi-Primitive Area, Triangle Lake is managed for both motorized and non-motorized uses. Both campsites on Triangle Lake are located on the non-motorized Pine Marten Run Trail and horse camping is allowed.
- Site 1 is a long, narrow site located on a level, sandy strip of land between the lake and a small wetland pond. The site is about 100 ft x 30 ft and is suitable for three families and trailers. There is good access via Forest Road 2734, however turn-around space is very limited.
- Site 2 is located in a wooded lowland. It is 40 ft x 40 ft and is sutable for one family. Although the access road is in fair condition, trailers are not recommended because of the limited turn-around space.

Is Triangle Lake Campsites fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
