About this place

Visitors to the area will be treated to a forested setting that varies from tag alder and conifer swamps to upland jack and white pine mixed with oak. Wakeley Lake is set relatively close to the parking location in the semi-primitive nonmotorized area. The lake tapers out into a swampy marsh area along the shoreline in some areas. A moderately sized area to hike, bike, cross -country ski, snowshoe, or view wildlife, this area also offers canoeing opportunities. The 2,100 acres area is habitat for loons and eagles and visitors may view loons nesting from March 1 to July 15. Please respect wildlife and view from a distance. A fee is charged. From Grayling: Travel east on M-72 for 10 miles. Turn left and travel north into parking lot.
