Mack Lake ORV Campground
Mack Lake, near Mio · Huron-Manistee National Forests
An off-road-vehicle campground on 175-acre Mack Lake in the Huron-Manistee National Forests, about 42 sites in jack pine plains. The Mack Lake ORV trailhead starts right in the campground, so this is a staging base for trail riders. Expect engine noise and dust through the day. There is a day-use swimming area with buoys and carry-in boat access, vault toilets, hand-pump water, no hookups. Jack pine runs thin on shade, though a few waterfront sites get some.
