§ 02 — OVERVIEW
The Munising and Rapid River/Manistique Ranger Districts of the Hiawatha National Forest offer a variety of camping experiences. Many are located on inland lakes in a rustic forest environment with no drinking water.
The rustic environment offers a wonderfully serene and peaceful setting for your next camping experience.
Visitors will be able to enjoy swimming, berry picking, and fishing at these campsites. Licenses are required for fishing in Michigan waters. Some of these campsites offer only one site on these inland lakes allowing for a very peaceful and wilderness-like experience. Crooked Lake offers a good fishery for bluegill, crappie, and northern pike. Occasionally, you may catch smallmouth bass. Boat access to lake is by carry-in only, which can be found at the campsite. Keep in mind that the boat access is shared with the public, meaning anglers may pass through your site to access the lake. Swimming is considered to be poor.
NOTE: There are no toilets or drinking water at this site.
