RV rental Fort Wilkins Historic State Park, MI: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

The main point of interest at the park is the fort itself, and one can not go camping at Fort Wilkins Historic State Park without seeing it. A visit to the park and its historical buildings will give you a great insight into what this area of land. The fort itself was built to protect a copper shipping route, and today many of the original buildings still stand, such as the Copper Lighthouse. Take a tour yourself of the buildings or alternatively make use of the tours and information offered by the knowledgeable rangers. In addition to the fort, there are several miles of scenic hiking trails to enjoy. One of the most well-trodden is the four-mile out and back trail that runs along the edges of the park boundaries. As it is an out and back trail, it can be easily used for a shorter walk as well. Along the way, you'll be able to enjoy a scenic view of Lake Superior as well as Lake Fanny Hooe. For more experienced hikers or those who are up for a bit of a challenge, the Keweenor State Trail runs very close to the park and runs for 51.7 miles, making the state park RV campgrounds a great base. Lake Fanny Hooe is a hot spot for anglers who come to try and see if they can get a catch. Whether you prefer to fish from on a boat, along the shoreline, or make use of the fishing pier, the choice is yours. The lake is 227 acres, meaning there is room for everyone to enjoy it, and even in the winter months, the lake can be busy with ice fishers. Brook trout, rainbow trout, walleye, yellow perch, and smallmouth bass are just a few of the fish species that you may be able to catch, just make sure that you have a valid fishing license before you make use of the lake.
