Bruin Lake
14 miles away
First visit was a pleasant one. Boat launch is real shallow, I have a Glastron SX 175 v hull and had difficulty getting boat to clear trailer without backing tow vehicle farther into lake than usual. From there, things just got better. The water is pleasantly clean, but very shallow on the north side. However, the channels connecting Bruin to the other lakes are great. We spent all day on the water. Blind lake is a beautiful little lake with several sand bars, a swimming platform and a couple of rope swings for the kids to get out of the boat and play on. Overall, we were very pleased with the fact that we chose Bruin rather that our normal haunt Portage....

Juniper Hills is under new management! Weekend campers are now welcome.Unfortunately there is not much for children to do at Juniper Hills.

If you are looking to relax and have good family fun its not the place to be. I would not suggest taking anyone under the age of 18 here race weekend. It is adult spring break. If you wanna party this is THE place to be on race weekend. I enjoyed it very much and would return. Quiet hours run 3 am - 8 am....
