Visitors will be able to enjoy swimming, berry picking, and fishing at these dispersed campsites. Licenses are required for fishing in Michigan waters. Swimming is considered poor at the Bass Lake campsite. However, Bass Lake hosts a great fishery of northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass and bluegills.
