650 North Michigan Ave. Baldwin, MI 49304
Kayakers and paddlers who want a glassy morning lake nearly to themselves. Only three reservable sites, so it actually delivers the solitude it promises. Bring all your water, haul your gear a short distance from the lot, and summer weekdays here are hard to beat for $10.
Anglers expecting clean catches will be disappointed: multiple reviewers flag grubby fish. No beach, no potable water, and parking isn't next to your site, so anyone hauling heavy gear or expecting walk-up convenience will find the setup frustrating fast.

The lake is surrounded by national forest, except a few small private ownerships on the northwest and southeast sides of the lake. The lake has clear water and a sandy bottom, and is popular for fishing. A boat launch provides both motorized and nonmotorized boating access to visitors. The lake is shallow and is characterized by reeds around the edges. The lake at its deepest is 10 feet.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/usfs-hmnf/albums/72157663905422102" target="external">Flickr Photo Album</a> </strong></p>

Summer brings the warmest, driest conditions and the best on-water recreation. Daytime highs typically run 70–85°F with cool nights in the 50s–60s. Lake temperatures often reach the mid-60s to mid-70s. Swimming, boating, kayaking and warmwater fishing for panfish and largemouth bass peak during these months. Mornings are often glassy for paddling. The campground is small and quiet, so midweek stays feel secluded, though weekends fill quickly. Reservations are recommended. As October wanes, crisp air and morning frost signal the end of the season. Roads go unplowed in winter.
Summer is best for kayaking, fishing and swimming; warmest, driest conditions.
