While you're here at Watkins Lake, you could also stop at beautiful Fiddle Lake, and you'll meet a lot of folks from Detroit-Warren-Livonia here.

Pine Nob

Our skiers and boarders expect great snow conditions and there is good reason for their expectations. Pine Knob makes lots of great snow each season with our fleet of TOPGUN snowmakers. This kind of snowmaking capacity means that Pine Knob will op-en early, recover from midwinter thaws quickly and stay open late into the season for great spring skiing.
We are family-oriented, offering complete Alpine and Snowboard rentals, expertly groomed runs, Ski Shop and world class ski instructors. Our ski school on the premises offers private and group lessons, race training and NASTAR for young and old....

Ok, it's nice however. There are some issues I would like to address. the beach. It's not very clean, you find cigarette butts all over the beach, finding it very unattractive, especially if you have little kids. I would be very pleased if that was an issue taking care of when I return to the beach with my kids. Also perhaps a no smoking on beach could be addressed. Perhaps they could smoke elsewhere. Like in the parking lot. Where kids wouldn't most likely be. Thank you....

Haas Lake Park

My family and I have been spending summers at Haas Lake for about 18 years now. Through the years we have made a family of friends there... people who are as close (if not closer) than actual family. Growing up there, I will have to say that I would not trade it for anything. Of those who stay out there, many of us say that it is our favorite place on earth!! I am blessed to have had the time there, and hope that, in the future, my children will spend time there also!...I was fortunate enough to have spent my summers growing up at Haas Lake Park.? Even though I am now 35 years old, I still return to Haas Lake to visit the Haas Lake ''family''. I have made so many friends at Haas Lake and would recommend camping there....
