4810 E. M28 Kenton, MI 49967
Anglers and swimmers who can arrive mid-week: site 13 sits closest to the sand beach, and the lake holds Northern Pike, Walleye, Bass, and Perch. Bring all your supplies and filtered water bottles since hand-pump water runs silty and the nearest town is 8 miles out.
No showers, no hookups, no dump station, and no reservations means showing up on a summer Friday and hoping something's open. Mosquitoes are persistent enough that reviewers call them out specifically, and the tight gravel loop can be rough on larger rigs.

Summer brings the warmest conditions and easiest lake access. Daytime highs run mid-60s to low-80s°F, with lake water warming to the mid-60s to low-70s°F by peak season. June through September offers the best swimming, boating, and fishing windows. Long daylight hours make hiking comfortable. Weekends fill up, especially in July, but weekdays stay quiet. Spring and fall deliver cooler temperatures and changing foliage. Mosquitoes are persistent. One reviewer warned they're a recurring issue, so bring repellent.
Summer (peak season) best for lake access, warmest weather and water temps for swimming.
