Drinks & Nightlife
Best view on the lake but pack your patience. This place is so big it is hard to keep staff. Food is just ok and your order may not be correct. Highly recommend pulling up on the boat, hitting the downstairs bar for a drink and an appetizer. Otherwise in the summer you will wait upwards of 2 hours, especially if you have a large group.

Sightseeing
Awesome place to fish, take the kids to catch crawfish, swim in the dam, and go hiking/canoeing. No power boats. A must-see. Bring a camp chair and enjoy the water rushing over the dam. In winter, it is a must-see. In spring, it is flooded over.

Wonderful hiking. The main trail is paved between buildings and accessible. There are longer more rugged trails as well. Visit the old growth Forrest and realize Michigan logging history and 600+foot hemlock trees.
