Rifle River 6/29/07
Rifle River
Mio, MI
Wow.. another cool place.. the Lake is right by the campgrounds.. from the map it looked further away. Beautiful lake.. gets deep quickly but nice to swim in. Cool place to buy wood near by, it is a saw mill and these are the pine ends.. big bunch for $5. The park is huge and also has 2 or 3 rustic campgrounds.. lots of trails and some beautiful BIG old white pine trees.. some of the largest I have ever seen. Will definitely be back here!

WOW! This place is great!!
We left N Higgins Lake early afternoon on Sunday and headed North. We geocached along the way and crossed the bridge in mid-afternoon. Headed West on US 2 for about 15 miles along the shore of Lake Michigan to Brevoort Lake.. it is about a mile or so back off the Highway.. and is a wonderful campground. The sites are HUGE.. there is a large area for camping.. and surrounded by woods.. look to the back of the site and you can see the lake through the woods.. walk through the short trail through the woods and you come to a beautiful sandy beach. The lake is nice for swimming and the kids had a ball playing in the sand. There is a general store at the campground with ice, wood, boat rentals and common items.. handy to have right there so you dont have to drive 15 miles into town.
There are lots of attractions in the area to check out also. In the 3 days we were there we checked out.. a Boat ride under the Mackinac Bridge, Cut River Gorge, pasties from Brevort (good warmed up over the campfire), North Country trails, Hiking trails by Foley NFCG that go along Lake Huron, Castle Rock.. and of course swimming in Lake Michigan. This was a great campground and we will certainly be back!

This was the beginning of our first UP trip. Went up to N Higgins on Friday morning. There was a Fly Fishing event at the RAM which is right next to the campground. I *really* like this park. Lots of pine trees which gives it a wooded but open look. The bathrooms were of an older style 60's? but well maintained and clean. There is a trail that goes down to the beach.. and WOW there is a l-o-n-g walkway that goes along the beach.. lots of picnic tables.. a large swimming area.. modern playground, bathrooms.. The water is amazing.. clear and beautiful. The lake is shallow and you can go out forever. There is wood nearby at a private individual.. ask the ranger for directions.
This park is in the top tier pricing wise ($27/night).. it was expensive as camping goes but a really great place. I would come here again and liked this one much better than S Higgins.
