     Near Allen Lake you stumble on the Stairway Portage which is a brilliant hiking trail, and if you came to camp Gateway-hungry Jack Lodge is a wonderful spot to do that. Dry warm beds await you at Eagle Ridge Resort at Lutsen Mountains; on a great day you can take a hike along the South Lake Portage. If you get bored of Allen Lake, you could also have a look at nearby Gaskin Lake, and the Misquah Hills towers over Allen Lake. If you need a spot to stay Super 8 Grand  
   Marais is a splendid choice, and Allen Lake is magnificent enough to spend more than a day at, Cascade River Campground is a magnificent local campground.
From a rain point of view Allen Lake is a pretty normal place; August is the month that gets the most rain, and February on the other hand is the driest. For the duration of the warm days of summer here at Allen Lake, high temperatures frequently reach the 70's. Once the sun is down it drops down to the
 
               50's. All through the wintertime this place gets highs in the 10's, and night lows in the-10's for Allen Lake. This lake is so wonderful. The Height of Land Portage is a fine hiking trail close to Allen Lake.
So many cool things to do here at Allen Lake, too magnificent to be true. If you like skiing, you're in luck; Lutsen is in close proximity to Allen Lake, and Jump Lake is a nearby lake that you could explore. This lake is so wonderful. The top of Misquah Hills is easily seen from Allen Lake, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Cascade River.

Echo is a nice lake to stop and drop a line when in the Schroeder tofte area. It is just up the road from Nine mile lake campground and has an easy to catch supply of small trout. Don't look for a big meal here but it is a fun and easy place to have the kids wet a line....Echo is a nice lake to stop and drop a line when in the Schroeder tofte area.
