User input for Craig Lake, Baraga County, Michigan:
John: This was a great time. A buddy of mine and I grabbed the canoe, tent, and fishing gear and headed out for a week. We overpacked, which made the reasonable portage quite difficult, though. After all the work, we were rewarded with a secluded island camp site about 30 minutes paddle from where we put in. I recommend this lake to anyone that likes to camp or fish. We caught a large number of Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass while we were there, and were quite sad to leave. However, Bring bug repellent.....The horseflies during the day strike fear into the hearts of most mortal men and you can skin the mosquitos to make a coat.

| | Lake dipping down into the 0's through winter nights. A great close by hotel is Best Western Baraga Lakeside Inn; get covered with water paddling on Peshekee River. Craig Lake gets a common amount of rain; the month of September is the wettest with most of the rain; the driest month is February. This lake is so wonderful. Float down the rapids of Slate River in a kayak, and obviously, this is a perfect region for folks who like lakes, Teddy Lake is a lake close at hand.

 | I have loved the Peshekee for over 63 years, watching rocks appear and disappear with the seasons. It's a special day when kayakers also appear, usually in early spring.
