The best camping in Lake Gogebic State Park, MI guide

Overview

About

This may not be a Great Lake, but it is certainly a great lake, the largest outside of the big one on the Upper Peninsula. You’ll find a full range of recreational splendors at Lake Gogebic State Park—a hoppin’ campground with full amenities, quiet coves for paddling adventures, and a boatload of fun for the kids. They’ll have the time of their lives with a sandy beach for swimming, a shady playground, and paved campground roads—training-wheel friendly! Want to escape from the lakeside crowds? The Lake Gogebic-Forest Trail takes you deep into the woods and pops you out on the other side of the park. Master your inner (and outer) vacationer on the shores of Lake Gogebic.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Lake Gogebic State Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the park is full of life. Fall also offers a spectacular display of colors, making it a great time for photographers and nature enthusiasts. Winter can be harsh and challenging for outdoor activities, so it's less recommended unless you're prepared for snow adventures.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have a Recreation Passport for park entry, as it's required for all visitors.
  • Check the trail conditions and weather forecast before you set out to explore the park's trails.
  • Remember to pack out all your trash and leave no trace to preserve the park's natural beauty.
  • Cell service can be spotty, so download maps and important information beforehand.
  • For safety, always let someone know your plans and expected return time when venturing into the park.
