Proud Lake State Recreation Area

Proud Lake State Recreation Area is a 3,503-acre park in Michigan, about 3 miles from the town of Wolverine Lake. The State Department of Natural Resources manages the land, and the park holds four campgrounds within its boundaries, making it a base for overnight stays as well as day visits. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July highs reach about 82°F with lows near 60°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Milford. Winters are cold, with January highs around 31°F. Several other outings sit within a short drive. Chief Pontiac Trail Conventional Hike is about 2 miles away, and Pebble Creek Ravine Trail is about 7 miles off. Paddlers can head to the Huron River, roughly 8 miles away, and mountain bikers can ride the Yellow Trail, about 8.5 miles from the park.
