     There's so much to do here at Second Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Camp Seven Lake Campground - Hiawatha National Forest is a great place for that; lots of folks from Escanaba come here. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Ford River. This lake is so wonderful. A glorious nearby hotel is Best Western Pioneer Inn & Suites, and why not a little side journey to Pine Creek. Second Lake is a good spot of  
   normal rain; all through the month of August you get the most rain around here, and the driest of the months is February.
What a place this is for outdoors folks. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Second Lake has to offer, you can camp at Brevort Lake Campground - Hiawatha National Forest, and First Lake is a nearby lake that you could visit. A lake close by is Little Pine Lake, and hey, Gotta ski right? Gladstone Ski Park is a good site to

Escanaba River

I have floated the Escanaba River years ago. We always did it in early spring to take advantage of the high water of spring run off. In June our church kayak club ran the river, and found the water flow was way down. In some spots it barely covered the rocks in the river. Two weeks later our son and a friend tried it and they ended up pulling out and walking as the flow was so low. recommend those wishing to make the run to check out: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/mi/nwis/uv?04059000

river flows below 1000 cubic feet per second will leave the river low. High flows of course gives more white water in the rapids!

Also for a bit shorter trip you can put in at Burnt Camp access sight which is about a mile SE of Cornell on County Road 426.

On the Boney Falls put in watch for Bald Eagles as there are currently three nest pair backing their home on the backwater of the dam. They love to fish the river lower river which is a great trout steam. Also along the river are whitetail deer, black bear and many different birds....
