Getting Outdoors

Even though Perch Lake might seem small, it is a gorgeous place for fishing. Motorized boats are strictly forbidden on the lake, which adds to calmness and relaxation. This allows visitors to be completely focused on nature and the woods that surround the lake. Anglers might catch bass, bluegill, trout, pike, and sunfish. Ice fishing is also somewhat popular on Perch Lake since the lake freezes when the weather turns cold.

Camping at Perch Lake

Unfortunately, there are no campgrounds on the shores of Perch Lake. However, visitors who want to go motorhome camping in the area might stay at Traverse Bay RV Resort, which is just a short drive away from the lake. This RV resort is quite clean and well-maintained, with gorgeous landscaping. The amenities include showers, restrooms, picnic area, dog park, and free WiFi.

Had a great trip with DAVe! The van was as described and met our needs perfectly! We lucked out with weather and had a wonderful trip through Michigan's Upper Peninsula staying in some sweet beach spots and seeing epic moon and sun rises! Would definitely rent this van again!
