     Comfort Inn Houghton Lake is a great site to get some rest, and skiing at Skyline Ski Slide is one of those things you just must do. What a place this is for outdoors folks. Really delightful skiing awaits you at Hanson Hills. Backus Lake gets a common amount of precipitation; September is when you get the most rain here, and February on the other hand is the driest. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Backus Lake has to offer, you can camp at Artesia  
   Beach Trailer Park, and if you need a location to stay Comfort Suites Lakeside is a pleasant choice.

The person below is way off... The weeds are not that bad and I have caught some relatively nice sized fish. I have never had to clean off my motor and I catch lots of fish in little time. I would not mind if you went to another lake so that I can have more fish but there is nothing wrong with this lake....This Lake is weedy and all we caught were small pan fish. Every cast was weeds. We tried to still fish and still got weeds. Our Motor also was constantly needing clean up. We have a 5 hp motor , that's all they allow, and we get weeds,weeds,weeds. There was only 2 boats we saw fishing, they said the same thing. Good luck. Go to another lake......
