River Road Recreation Area Photos
Situated along both sides of Black River just below Clearwater Dam, the recreation area offers 96 sites on the east or left side with most having electricity, two showers, flush toilets, dump station, three day use pavilions, picnic areas, and a three mile hike/bike trail, and boat ramp.
The west side or right side bank is R CAMP LOOP and has 14 campsites, 9 with electricity. Picnic facilities, a vault restroom and an extensive nature trail system designed for viewing wildlife can be found here. This trail begins with a wooden boardwalk winding along and over Black River.
Fishing below the dam is different from the lake with the river having a much greater diversity of fish species such as walleye and paddlefish also known as spoonbill. During the snagging season which opens March 15, fish 60 pounds and more have been caught. Big spotted bass, bluegill, large mouth bass, and crappie can also be found here. All lake campgrounds are open year round, although services are suspended in the off-season. Services are provided from March 15-October 31.
