West Shore Campground - Indian Lake State Park

Manistique, Michigan

About

Indian Lake State Park is located on the shores of Indian Lake, five miles west of Manistique in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The park is composed of two units, which are 3 miles apart and separated by the lake. The south unit features a modern campground overlooking the lake and the west unit features semi-modern campsites in a wooded setting. The park offers a variety of amenities, including two Civilian Conservation Corps-era picnic shelters, a designated swim beach, a quarter-mile, paved trail along the lake, and boating access site. Indian Lake, which is 6 miles long and 3 miles wide, is the fourth-largest inland lake in the Upper Peninsula. The lake was once called M'O'Nistique Lake, and surveyor records from 1850 indicate Native Americans lived in log cabins near the outlet of the lake. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities, including hiking, fishing, hunting, nature programs, paddlesport rentals, paddling, picnic areas, playgrounds, sanitation stations, snowshoeing, swimming, and water access. The park is also close to other attractions, such as Palms Book State Park and Seney National Wildlife Refuge.
