Ring Mill Campground

This was once the site of a mill and farmstead. The mill is now gone, but the stone house of its original owner, built in 1846, is still located at the site. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places. It has three camp-sites and a picnic shelter, and is also a canoe access point and near the North Country Trail.
