Favorite spots in State and National Forests as well?
I really like Afton backpacking site #21 for a quick weekend. There are plenty of healthy trees 12' to 20' feet apart in good proximity to the firepit and picnic area without being too close. Good ground surface with no large rocks or anything under the hammock. The site is tucked nicely back into the woods so it feels like you have an acre to yourself. Hiking to the site is idyllic, with views of the rolling prairie and St. Croix river valley. The wood pile, water, and vault toilet are on the main path. 21 is on a side path (see diagram) that doesn't get human foot traffic, but there's a good chance you'll see a deer walking through the woods around dusk.
