LUX LAKE CAMPSITE: Campsite 1 (#774): Only campsite on the lake
Another quiet lake similar to Carl Lake. Each of these lakes has one campsite and usually at least one of them is open. The campsite on Lux Lake seemed better than the one on Carl Lake. Overall Lux Lake seemed more scenic than either Jake Lake or Carl Lake, only eclipsed by Morgan Lake.
The lake has a fairly good northern pike fishery. Perhaps a toss up between Morgan Lake and Lux Lake for which has the best pike fishing.
Lux Lake flows out to the north into Jake Lake. There is a steep little portage over a low ridge that divides Carl Lake and Lux Lake.
