Since the early 1900s Leech Lake Dam has been a popular destination spot for recreational travelers and is one of the premier walleye, perch and musky lakes in the state. The campground offers a wooded camping setting and a mooring canal for overnight mooring of boats. Almost one-fourth of the shoreline is comprised of sphagnum-sedge bog and is being colonized by back spruced and tamarack trees. The remainder of the shoreline is comprised of a mixed forest, which include elm-ash, maple-basswood, birch-aspen, and pine-mixed hardwoods communities. These communities hold some of the most complex assemblages of species present in the headwaters area.

The Leech Lake Recreation Area is situated at the outlet of Leech Lake in the town of Federal Dam. The recreation area is located about 200 miles northwest of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Recreation Area offers camping, boating, picnicking, fishing, and playground areas.
