Quality Inn West Branch is a tremendous place to get some rest, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always take a look at close by Hunters Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Why not camp at Rainbow Bend Forest Campground since you're here at West Lake, and if you need a site to stay Super 8 West Branch is a delightful choice. There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby Skyline Ski Slide. A wonderful place to camp here at West Lake is South

Elni Lake
 | 10 miles away ...e typical Michigan forest trees - Norway (Red) Pine, White Pine, Quaking Aspen (poplar), Birch, Jack Pine. Elni has plenty of lilypads and is only a so-so fishing lake.

At the top of that bottom layer (sawdust, mostly) is the volatile, easily disturbed, mystery muck. Hence, there isn't a beach on Elni. If you wonder about the veracity of my ''quicksand'' reference, take a good, thick stick (we used young poplars stripped of leaves, etc., to push our raft around the lake) and stick it into the bottom (a little off shore, since the very e... |
