Beach/Water Access
This is one of two Bass Lakes in the park. Located in Leelanau County, Bass Lake (North) is visible on the east side of M-22 about 6 miles north of Glen Arbor. There are several access points off of M-22 plus a short two-track at the North end where you can park along the sandy shore and swim, fish, or launch a kayak.
Electric motors are permitted year-round. There are two small cabins at one end of the lake, but most of the lake is wild. The surrounding land is open, the shore is firm, and the bottom is sandy, and there aren't too many mosquitoes. All these features make Bass Lake one of the prettiest places for a lazy day picnic. There are no restrooms here, but some are available at nearby School Lake.
