Rifle River Recreation Area

I been going here for over 30 years. Lots of trails. Lots of wild life. Nice view of the stars. You'll hear faint drums in the distance. You'll hear it better near Ambrose campground. I still have no idea where they're coming from lol. But it's an amazing time.

The Good: Camped at one of the Grousehaven sites for 2 nights. One of the littles got pulled over by the patrolling DNR for riding their bike and wearing their helmet and was given a ticket of safety for a free ice cream at McDonalds. The road through the park is paved with some tight spots depending on how people park.

Well we have camped here every year for the last 12 years. It is one of our most favorite campgrounds. Very clean, the rangers took care of our needs when asked. We stayed in the Devoe campground and the lake is marvelous as always.

DeVoe Lake is one of my favorite spots in Michigan. Love that DeVoe Lake has no motorized boats. Great place to kayak, swim and just be with nature.

Great state park! Clean and amazing trails and views. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
