PROUD LAKE RECREATION AREA HOSTS SPRING BLOOMS FESTIVAL LANSING--Proud Lake Recreation Area in Commerce Township
host its first Annual Spring Blooms Festival for campers
April 19-21, 2002. Campers will be invited to join in an egg
hunt, a hay ride and various spring activities. In addition,
each camper will receive a native Michigan tree seedling to
take home and plant.
This is the perfect opportunity for campers to kick off the
2002 camping season. Proud Lake Recreation Area offers 130
modern campsites. As a "modern" campground, it includes
shower and restroom facilities and electricity provided -
all for only $18 a night. Campers can bring their boats to
the boat launch, ride their horses on the bridle trails or
go fishing. Canoes are available for rental, and a picnic
shelter offers the perfect place to gather. This park, set
on a chain of Huron River lakes, is popular among anglers
because the lakes are stocked with trout each spring by the
Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Call 800-44-PARKS or reserve a campsite on-line at
www.michigandnr.com. To reserve a canoe, call Heavner's
Canoe Rental at 248-685-2379. A $4 daily or $20 annual Motor
Vehicle Permit is required for entry into any Michigan State
Park or Recreation Area. To get to the park, take I-96 to
exit 159 and go north on Wixom Road for 7 miles.
