Water supply
Hello all you helpful people. This is my first time logging on. We are coming to IR Sept 12-17. I've looked high and low and am wondering if there are water pumps at the campsites or is all water obtained from streams and/or lakes??? Thanks for any info on this.

Re: Water supply
Rock Harbor and Windigo have tap water (but I'm not sure when in the Fall it is turned off). Otherwise it's lake and stream water, properly treated.

Re: Water supply
The water is generally turned off shortly after Labor Day. I would not count on having tap water for your trip.

Re: Water supply
The Windigo store and restrooms will be closed after tomorrow (Labor Day). You may still be able to get water at the taps by the pier but no showers, laundry or flush toilets.
