Bergland and Lake Gogebic Campgrounds

LAKE GOGEBIC STATE PARK
(906) 842-3341; http://dnr.state.mi.us/parksandtrails, then "Lake Gogebic." Reservations: (800) 44-P
Because Lake Gogebic is fairly shallow, it warms up early for swimming here at the sandy beach area. There's a large playground and picnic pavilion by the beach, with the boat launch south of the pavilion. M-64 runs close to Lake Gogebic's west shore, and the looping roads lined with camping sites are wedged between the highway and lakeshore. The park includes nearly a mile of shoreline. In contrast, most of the Lake Gogebic's shoreline is lined by cottages. Almost a fourth of the 127 campsites are right on the lake; none are very far from it. Modern sites are currently $18 ($16 after the water is off). The campground is grassy, not wild, and generally shady. Reservations advised for mid-June through late August. A 2-mile nature trail loop (see in Attractions) crosses the road to go back and up into the park's interior, with a wonderful view.
