RV Rental Williamston, MI

A quick drive to the north of Williamston is the Rose Lake State Wildlife Research Area in Bath Township, Michigan. At Rose Lake, you can stroll through the maintained wildlife area and get to see a little piece of natural Michigan. You can also head to the various lakeshores, such as Moon Lake in the Brown Unit or Rose Lake in the Green Unit, and enjoy a stroll around the lakeshore.

Just a short drive east into town is the Hawk Island Park in Lansing, Michigan. In this metropolitan park, you’ll likely forget that you’re even in the city. You can enjoy the on-site lake with a pedal boat rental, a little bit of fishing, or take to sunbathing on the sandy shores. Or you can venture out on some of the hiking trails and explore the forests and meadows. If you’re traveling to the area in the winter, you can rent an inner tube and go tubing down one of the many snow-covered hills.

Just a short drive to the southeast is the Pinckney Recreation Area in Pinckney, Michigan. At this state recreation area, you will be able to explore 11,000 acres of Michigan’s protected wilderness. The area of this park was formed thousands of years ago during the last Ice Age, and as a result, the park is home to rolling hills, valleys, and seemingly countless small ponds and lakes. You can take in this unique terrain and environment by exploring the miles of hiking and biking trails, the multiple lakefront beaches, and even on-site boat rentals. If you find yourself traveling to the area during the winter, the hiking trails become cross-country skiing trails, so you can still enjoy all of the wonders of southeastern Michigan.
