Getting Outdoors

Hiking is the best way to discover the diverse flora and fauna of the Proud Lake Recreation Area. More than 20 miles of hiking trails will take visitors through the pine forests near the stunning Huron River. The woods are especially beautiful in spring and summer since wildflowers bloom near the hiking trails. Some parts of the trails could be a bit tricky for novice hikers, but it is generally easy. Cross-country skiing is popular here during winter. The landscape is usually covered in snow, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for all outdoorsy people who don’t mind the cold.

Camping at Proud Lake Recreation Area

Proud Lake Recreation Area has a large campground, with around 130 sites that can accommodate long vehicles and RVs. The majority of the sites have large parking pads. Electric hookups are available at 50 of those sites. The campground offers plenty of features to the visitors, and some of them are showers, toilets, and picnic areas. It is also close to the lake, so residents of Detroit flock to this campground during summer to leave the concrete jungle behind for a day or two.

Exploring the Area

Wixom is a small community in southeast Michigan. It used to be an important railroad junction at the turn of the century. The city rose to prominence in the 20th century because of the now-demolished Wixom Assembly Plant. The plant produced some of the famous classic cars such as the Ford Thunderbird and Ford GT. Today, Wixom is a great place for young families, with plenty of greenery and natural wonders all around. Hidden among the parks is the Wixom Public Library. This gorgeous building is the place to be if you want to catch up on your reading or attend an interesting event. It is right next to the City fountain where you may sit on a bench and relax.

This RV was perfect for our trip. It was super clean and the beds were so comfy. Our plans changed unexpectedly causing us to have to extend our trip and Joel was so accommodating and helpful!
