High Bridge State Forest Campground
High Bridge State Forest Campground
This rustic campground, a favorite among anglers, lies along the Two Hearted River and offers six tent and small trailer sites. While the river is a prime attraction, access from the campground is challenging due to steep banks and strong currents. Caution is advised for both anglers and paddlers entering the water.
The operation of an ORV and snowmobile between the campground and nearby trails is allowed, including Pine Ridge and Two Heart trails.
The campground is located 22 miles north of Newberry via M-123 and County Road 407.
