Caribou Lake beach
The shores of Lake Huron are mostly rocky through this area. They don't encourage much swimming and splashing. The informal public beach at Caribou Lake four miles west of DeTour offers warmer swimming and a gradual sandy beach. Never crowded.
On S. Caribou Rd. Either take southernmost DeTour east-west street west or, east of Cedarville, turn north from M-134 onto M-48, then east onto S. Caribou in about 2 miles.
