Recreation
The boat launch facilities on Lake Cadillac and Lake Mitchell allow easy access to water sports and fishing activities. Both lakes are noted as fine walleye fisheries and are popular fishing areas during the summer. Anglers can expect good catches of perch, walleye, panfish and bass.
In the winter, snowmobiling, ice fishing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are popular recreational activities.
The Park is only a few miles east and north of the Manistee portion of the Huron-Manistee National Forest, the headquarters of which is located in Cadillac. East of the city and the campground is also the Pere Marquette State Forest, and to the southeast is the White Pine Trail State Park.

Famous quotes containing the word recreation:
“Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
“Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns.”
—Archbishop Luigi Barito (b. 1922)
