17 large sites, under a canopy of mature maples, are up on a hill above 30-acre Courtney Lake in the Ottawa National Forest. It's managed as a trout lake and shared with the Ottawa Sportsmen's Club. There's not a lot of shrubby buffer between sites. Tap for water, scattered outhouses. The boat ramp, small beach and picnic area are a short walk away, but not adjacent. This is a no-wake lake. It's is warm enough for good summer swimming but still refreshing on a hot day. Beautiful in fall — a favorite with Minnesota and Wisconsin couples who like peace and quiet. Nearby highway makes it easy to reach Mass City/Greenland, Ontonagon, the the Porkies, under 25 miles away.

South off M-38 (the highway between Baraga and Ontonagon) halfway between Nisula and on the west M-26. About 8 miles from Mass City and Greenland. Watch for Forest Service sign, then 1 mile south on Courtney Lake Rd. Handicap access: call. Open from late May thru Nov. $10/night.
