Getting Outdoors

Round Lake is well known for its rock and smallmouth bass, with many anglers making the journey to the lake to try their luck with a line. The deeper areas of Round Lake are also known to contain pete, so what you manage to catch depends largely on the area in which you are fishing. Because there are lots of other lakes in the immediate area, many people combine fishing and camping at Round Lake with fishing also on the surrounding bodies of water.

You will love to experience the mix of water-based recreation activities available on Round Lake, such as boating. Jet skiing, water skiing, and tubing are also popular past times, especially in the summer months, when the sun is warm, with the breeze from the boat offering the ideal way to cool down. There is a public boat launch from which you can launch your boat, and if you don't have your own, there are plenty of places in the immediate area where you will be able to hire one for the day, or even longer.

Located in the Hiawatha Nation Forest, the lake is surrounded by beautiful nature; therefore nature watching and hiking opportunities are plentiful. Pack a picnic and your hiking gear and head out into the forest to witness some flora and fauna found in the area. After a long day of walking, there is nothing better than heading back to a comfy RV rental and cooking dinner on a grill.

Exploring the Area

Seeing as Round Lake is in the middle of a vast forest, you may have to drive a little in your rental RV to reach some of the main attractions. Just under an hour away is the famed Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, with Miners Castle being one of the most well-known sights on this shore. It has got its name from its unique rock formation and is very impressive to see. As it is the only cliff here that it is accessible by car, it is one not to miss, with incredible views of Grand Island and Lake Superior stretching out in front of you.

Round Lake campers should be sure to take a glass-bottom shipwreck tour. These tours allow you to explore the depths of Lake Superior without getting wet, and the many hidden treasures it holds. You'll be able to see a fully intact wooden sailing ship, plus some impressive caves and cliffs. The trip lasts around 2 hours, and it is a great way to see the beauty of Grand Island and Munising Bay, as well as the fish and creatures that call these waters their home.

Heading southeast of the lake, you'll find the town of Manistique, a beautiful harbor town on the shores of Lake Michigan. There is plenty to do in the town such as shopping and dining, plus there is a pleasant boardwalk right along the shore, perfect for a stroll at any time of day. Rent a Manistique camper rental to experience all of this and more, and have the vacation of a lifetime.

We greatly enjoyed our experience with the RV. The unit was easy to drive. It allowed us to take out time as we explored new areas. We didn't have to rush to get to a reserved hotel but could travel at our own pace. The RV had more features than I had expected. Really enjoyed the Starlink setup that allowed us to watch tv from bed at night. We made all our meals in the unit and saved a bunch on that. The hosts provided great how-to videos and were available by phone if we had any questions on our trip. We highly recommend this experience for couples or small families. Mark and Machelle H.
