Our campsite
Late in June we received a call asking if we would be interested in taking on a paid camp host position at Colwell Lake in the Hiawatha NF on Hwy 94. We are located about halfway between Manistique and Munising in the central UP.
The previous couple had to give up the position due to illness (stage 4 cancer). We showed up on Sunday July 7th to take over our position. Colwell Lake is a nice clean, clear lake that is around 150 acres in size. It has a nice 2 mile walking/hiking trail that completely circles the lake. We have 35 sites, including one group site and 2 walk-ins. The majority of the sites are waterfront, including ours. In addition to a boat launch there is a nice fishing dock out in front of site #7. We are also responsible for Indian River campground which is a 5 site canoe/kayak launching area located about 5 miles south of us. We are enjoying hosting and have fun talking with many people that visit us.
Due to not having internet at the campground my blog entries have been far apart. When I have opportunity to post I will.
