Wm. Mitchell State Park Near Cadillac Michigan This is a great family park,
large flat sites, lots of shade, beach. Wm. Mitchell State Park is located
between Mitchell Lake and Lake Cadillac, with a channel
running between the two lakes, so you can camp at the park and
have use of both lakes. Several sites are right on the channel, great
for folks with boats. Lots of area to ride bikes or take walks. May 2nd 2002 arrival day at the park, cool 39, rain, snow, sleet and
windy. Not a nice day,
but lots of sites to choose from, this park has 250 plus sites, only
10 or 12 sites were
being used. For many years this has been our first week of May
park.
The following days do get nicer. This view out the side trailer
window looking east
over the channel and Lake Cadillac.
