About Leg Lake Dispersed Campsite
Overview
The dispersed campsites on the Rapid River/Manistique Ranger District are located on inland lakes and are in a rustic forest environment with few, if any amenities. The rustic environment offers a wonderfully serene and peaceful setting for your next campout.Recreation
Visitors will be able to enjoy swimming, berry picking, and fishing at these dispersed campsites. Licenses are required for fishing in Michigan waters. Some of these campsites offer only one site on these inland lakes allowing for a very peaceful and wilderness-like experience.Facilities
There are two primitive campsites located on the 40 acre Leg Lake. The sites lie about 1/4 miles west of County Road 437 between Forest Roads 2694 and 2438. Leg Lake has good fishing for northern pike, largemouth bass, black crappies and bluegills. Some yellow perch and bullheads may also be caught. No drinking water is available.Site 1 is located on the west side of the lake. It is a very large semi-open area that would be suitable for group camping or family gatherings with trailers. A primitive toilet is located at the site. There is a good swimming area at site 1, but because it lies much lower than the campsite, it cannot be seen from the site.
Site 2 is a small, wooded area located on the east side of the lake. This site is suitable for one family. Trailers are not recommended because of the limited turn-around space.
There is an unimproved boat access located adjacent to site 2. It is intended for day-use only. Only small boats and trailers are recommended at this access.
Gasoline, groceries, fishing and camping supplies, ice and deli are available approximately 2 miles south on County Road 437 in the Thunder Lake area.
