Battle Lake Recreation Area is a trail complex near Northome in southern Koochiching County, managed by Koochiching County Land and Forestry. The area features skiing, hiking, and hunter walking trails. No motorized vehicles are allowed.
Amenities at the trailhead include a picnic area with tables and a sledding hill with sleds stored on site. Some trail sections are only accessible in winter on skis. The hiking trails wind through mixed birch and aspen forest with some steep hills. The trail system leads out to Battle Lake, a marshy basin that attracts waterfowl in spring and fall.
