Beautiful little lake with 4 camp sites & boat launch. First come first serve sites, no reservations, we lucked out & got the last site for a 4 day weekend. Great location very close to Munising & pictured rocks, close to public beaches also. Nice sites, no running water, vault toilet (that was VERY clean) picnic table & a fire pit. If you're a rustic camper, I highly recommend Canoe Lake. And as... Beautiful little lake with 4 camp sites & boat launch.

And as the name implies, a fantastic place to bring a canoe or kayak!
