Twin Lakes State Park
About
Twin Lakes State Park is a 175-acre state park in Michigan, managed by the state park agency. The nearest town is Pelkie, about 12 miles away. The park holds a single campground, making it a compact base for an overnight stay rather than a sprawling destination. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 76°F and lows near 52°F, with June and August close behind. Winters are cold, with January highs in the mid-20s. Several other outdoor options sit within about 10 miles. Paddlers can head to the West Branch Otter River, roughly 7 miles away. The Ontonagon Equestrian Complex offers cross-country skiing about 10 miles out. The Six-Mile Lake Interpretive trail is close by for hiking, and it also serves as a cross-country ski route in winter.
