Shoepac Lake State Forest Campground

Been camping, hiking, fishing at shoepac and the surrounding tomahawk Lake & Flooding since 1986. It’s always been special place to my family and friends, a wonderful place for well trained dogs. Fishing is good for lower mi, I’ve landed some pretty decent sized pike, bass and even a couple trout, they used to stock the trout, but the fishermen in the area weren’t happy about that because it changed the fishing rules for the lake so they transplanted pike caught in the flooding to shoepac, negating the trout and eventually the DNR gave up, Northern Michigan fishing lore I’m sure… we have a lifetime of stories about our times at shoepac lake.

This is a review/photos of the sinkhole pathway. You really can’t see sinkholes. It just looks like a deep valley.

In the late 50’s and early 60’s my family would go here and stay for two or three weeks at a time. My dad and uncle would fish for bullheads all night then clean and cook them up. We stayed in tents, there were at least six kids with mom and dad. Wonderful times. Need to see it all again and soon as I am now almost 73 y/o!

Great quiet rustic campground A+ Host was very nice DNR visits dayley very cool place to camp & not be bothered by people.

Was wonderful...lots of trails for hiking...near the sinkhole pathway. Lake was beautiful and great to swim, kayak, or fish in. Bathrooms were clean...most campsites are very large. Will camp there again!!
