Description
Black Lake, along with North Lake and Rainy Lake, was dammed by a low wall at the beginning of the 20th century to make it a better log pond. Flumes from each of these lakes carried logs downhill to the Stanley-Smith Lumber Mill at Greenpoint, now Kingsley, in the vicinity of the current reservoirs.
There is a walk-in Forest Service campground at Black Lake. Brook trout can be fished from the lake.
