Hungerford Lake Recreation Area
Hungerford Lake Recreation Area is a multi-use area. In spring, summer, and fall, visitors enjoy hiking, horseback riding, canoeing, fishing, and mountain biking. During the winter months, the trail is a popular cross-country ski trail. The trail extends 13 miles. Maps are available and recommended (231-745-4631) due to waning light blue, diamond shaped trail markers located on trees and posts. The level of difficulty signs are posted at the trailhead and along the trail system that includes easy, moderate, and challenging stretches. Camping is permitted at designated camping sites. This is a "carry-in, carry-out" site. A gravel boat launch provides access to paddle waters.
Horse owners can board their horses at Cowboys and Clowns in Whitecloud and ride them through the trails to hungerford lake also. We recommend staying at the Gray Goose for lodging accomodations.
