We left Country Village RV park in Ishpeming at noon. We had a 100 mile drive to make to get to Indian Lake RV Campground, near Manistique, and checkin time started at 3PM. It rained some before we left but we were ready to go, except for unhooking from shore power, before the rain hit. It had stopped raining by the time we were actually wanting to leave.
Roads were good, traffic was light. Some rain along the way but not enough to leave the wipers on continually.
About 2 miles east of Isabella, MI we saw a parking area for a DNR boat launch. We pulled in to have lunch and kill a little time. We were there for 45-60 minutes and saw only 3 other vehicles, none with boats, pass through.
The red icon in the photo below locates the DNR boat launch. For those not familiar with Michigan's boundaries note the dashed white line running through Lake Michigan. It shows the line between Michigan and Wisconsin. Not how how far it goes into what you think would be Wisconsin. The solid while line across the right, Lake Huron, and top, Lake Superior, is the line between Michigan and Canada.
Parked at Indian Lake. You can see a sliver of the lake midway up the left side of the photo. The photo doesn't show the campers on the left side of the road. It is a tight area. The campground's website says that it is an old campground and people with larger rigs need to be sure to read about the size of the sites before reserving them. Our site is 17'x40', it is actually a little bigger than that, especially longer. As I walked down to look at the beach a couple in 5th wheel unit hollered over to tell me to let the "lady" know that they were impressed with her ability to get into the site on the first try. In the evening a guy with a big 5th wheel tried to get into a site down 2 from us. He finally gave up and went to another site.
I walked down to the small beach to check it out.
Indian Lake is over 8,600 acres. It is the 4th largest inland lake in Michigan's UP.
I'm feeling a lot better today. We are looking forward to doing some exploring in this area. It is the first time we have "camped" on the Lake Michigan side of the UP.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
