Craig Lake-Rustic Cabins

Craig Lake-Rustic Cabins offers two historic waterfront cabins requiring a 2-mile hike from the parking area, accommodating 6-12 people with basic amenities including hand pump wells, vault toilets, fire rings, and provided firewood (Sept 15-June 1).

Each cabin includes canoes with paddles and life jackets (mid-May to mid-October) for paddling on Craig Lake, making them ideal for backcountry fishing and paddling trips in Michigan's most remote state park.

Reservations are required; note that the park road requires high-clearance vehicles and is impassable November-mid-May.
