Craig Lake is a remote Michigan State Park located in Baraga County in the Ottawa National Forest north of Lake Michigamme. This is an area of pristine lakes and forest inhabited by many different types of wildlife and fish and its scenic beauty is unmatched. No gasoline motors are allowed on Craig Lake also live fishing bait is prohibited. It is an excellent fishing lake for Walleye, Northern Pike, Smallmouth, and Muskie.
Camping is allowed at Craig Lake and there are 3 rustic campsites with firepit and outhouse or you may camp anywhere within the park. There is a $9.00 overnight fee per party and is payable at a pay pipe at the entrance to the park. Payment is on the honor system. There are also 2 Rustic Cabins for rent through the park system at $50.00 per night. They sleep about 10 campers. Wildlife abounds here. Moose, Deer, Bear, Eagles, Loons, Otters, Beaver, Fisher, Porcupine and Timber Wolf all live within the park. Hopefully, you'll get to see one.
We have 15 and 17 foot canoes that are just great for transporting you around Craig Lake. The 15's are two passengers and the 17' three passengers. We have fishing equipment if you need some and tents as well. Our fishing kayaks are also a great option.
