Spring camp idea?

**flytier** · 09-30-2015, 09:54 AM

What about Portage Lake in the Waterloo Rec. area? They are pet friendly, a big boat launch, and a shelter we can rent with a grill. I would be willing to bring hamburgers and hot dogs and cook, so the rest can enjoy the day. We could have a fish fry at liars club. Rules for contest could be, any lake in the Waterloo Rec. area will be allowed.

I am assuming you are referring to "Big Portage Lake"? If so, it is a state park with nice amenities. I believe the launch is either a 4 or 5 dock launch with slips on either side. Like other campgrounds in the area, this one gets pretty full on the weekends. Especially after school is out.

Not that this matters but, I've never actually caught a crappie out of Big Portage. The DNR report says they are there, but I cannot seem to find them.

Well at least we won't have to worry about a "home team" advantage then.

He did say that you would be able to fish ANY lake in the waterloo chain! I sent him a pm on another idea.

As wick found, we should look at Natures Chain of Lakes campground web site. I like the fact that the lakes are no wake. Also a dock can be rented for 5.00 extra a day. We will be going to Brower on Tusday, and we are planning on scouting it out.

Okay post asap. Dates too.

That area is located in Six Lakes Michigan. It is a chain of lakes and all of them are no wake. The campground is located on 4th lake. Tim found out that if you rent so many sights, we can use the pavilion for free. I've never been to this chain but it is pretty centrally located in the state.

Rules say max pontoon length of 18'. How long is yours Larry?
Also they DO NOT accept credit cards so we would have to find out how to work out payments. Just a couple of things to note.

According to their web page Fifth Lake is not a "no wake" lake, but all the others are. Campground is on Fifth Lake. Just for clarification.
