The Greenstone Ridge Trail from West Chickenbone Lake to Hatchet Lake Campground is a 7.9-mile trek that includes step climb within a mile of the campground that gains 250 feet in less than a half mile. You also ascend near Mount Siskiwit but the elevation gain comes with several viewing points enjoyed from grassy opening along the ridge.

The Greenstone Ridge Trail stretches between two campgrounds. The West Chickenbone Campground is 0.2 mile north of the trail and is a favorite among backpackers. A pretty area situated on the shores of the lake, the campground has individual and group campsites. The lake itself is excellent for pike, yellow perch, and an occasional walleye. Beaver lodges dot the far shore, and moose frequent the waters.

Hatchet Lake Campground is 0.5 mile from the junction of the Greenstone Ridge Trail. It's reached by first following the spur to Minong Ridge Trail and then heading west along the lake at a posted junction. The individual and groups sites are on a wooded hillside above the lake's south shore. There is an angler’s trail that continues to the west end of the lake. Although there are populations of brook trout, Hatchet Lake has never been known as an angler's hotspot.
