The "girls" and I just returned from another camping trip, this time to Indian Lake State Park near Manistique in the U.P. of MI.
It's a beautiful park. The first time I have been there and it won't be the last. I reserved a pull through site for this trip as it was open and I was not familiar with the other sites in the park. Turned out to be a great choice. We were camped under cedar trees and was nice and shady with a good view of the lake across the road.
This is Indian Lake, the second largest lake in Michigan's U.P. 5 miles long and 4 miles wide. Average depth is 15 feet
The view out my front window the next morning after we arrived.
Some shots of the campground. It varies from wooded to sunny sites. There are some sites directly on the lake and some like mine, across the road and more back into the woods. All laid out very nicely.
The park has a nice hardtopped trail through the cedars along the lake shore from the camapground to it's day use area and along this trail are spots like this where you can sit and picnic or just enjoy the peace and quiet. And believe me, it's quiet.
There is a small beach area along with a log beach house. This lake has a LOT of ducks and a sign was posted warning about Swimmers Itch here.
The day use area is small but very nice. And this building is the shelter. Quite a beautiful structure with all the big wood beams and the fireplace inside
We had a couple of passing thunderstorms the afternoon I was there and as you can see, a bit of rain along with them. Actually, we just caught the edge of them here. At one point there was actually a duck swimming in that puddle in front of my trailer, but of course I didn't haven't have the camera handy.
And last but not least, mom nature gave me another beautiful sunset to admire.
Hope you enjoyed the tour of this park. I'm hoping to go back here before the season is over. It's about 166 miles from me here, so it's a bit of a drive but well worth it.
