About 60 miles southeast of Battle Creek sits the small town of Hillsdale, Michigan. This area was well-populated by Native Americans for centuries due to its fertile soil, rolling hills, and quick access to numerous local lakes. One of the biggest lakes, Baw Beese Lake, is named after a chief who was in charge of a local tribe. In the 1800s, European settlers arrived and forced the Native Americans out of the area and staked claim to the land.

Hillsdale is the county seat of Hillsdale County, and is a community geared around lake access; Baw Beese Lake is a popular destination for fun and recreation. The picturesque views remain the same for the most part, as residents made efforts to preserve it over the centuries. If you're looking to spend a beautiful vacation in Michigan, book an RV in Hillsdale and get ready for an adventure that you won't forget.
