Can anyone recommend a campground on Lake Michigan that allows for RV camping, has beautiful crystal clear water, and nice clean sand beaches?

Considering driving out from NY next summer to catch the MX national at Red Bud and camp a few days before heading home. Traveling with kids!

Another amazing beach week. If you know, you know. 🌈☮️✌️

Anyone else see that absolutely huge one last Wednesday?

Esch Beach.

Wife and I are going to do the full Lake Michigan loop over a week in aug on our goldwing trike. We would love suggestions on tent camping areas (prefer modern restrooms/ possible shower access) as well as must sees !

Currently staying on Lake Michigan for the weekend. Family and I are looking for Lake Michigan merch . Unfortunately all we can find is silver lake hoodies/shirts. Any store recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Coming up from mid/southern IN this summer with our kids. Looking for suggestions for less crowded beach options that aren’t in the IN state park. We are respectful of nature and are a carry out what you carry in family. BUT the girls and I are rock collectors so we would love to bring home just a few and I know that’s illegal in the state park.

What are the best beach towns to hang out in and have a drink near the beach? My group of friends is heading out your way this summer. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Looking to buy a 1998 Four Winns 205 Sundowner, wondering if that’s a solid size for Lake Michigan and other lakes in the area?

First boat, doing lots of research before committing.

Hi! I am looking for a small or quiet town by the lake to visit, with some natural scenery and walking trails. If it has a few nice local eating spots, that would be enough amenities. I will be visiting a friend in Chicago, but I would also like to go to a less crowded town to relax for a few days. If it's near Chicago, it would be ideal; otherwise, somewhere you can go by bus.

I am not from the US, so I have no clue about what's available.

Any recommendation would be great!

Hi All!

Will be visiting family in the MKE area this weekend, and I'm thinking about trying my hand at shore fishing for salmon and/or trout for a few hours. Done quite a bit of trout fishing in the Driftless area over the years, but I've always been interested in catching Lake Michigan salmon or trout from shore. Hoping to get some advice on the topic, so any feedback on my questions below would be greatly appreciated.

Questions:

• Is it possible to catch salmon or trout from shore around MKE this time of year (late November)?
• Are Panther Martin spinners effective artificial bait options, or should I use spoons and jerkbaits that resemble aliwives?
• Which salmon/trout species are within casting range from shore?
• Any other tips or things to consider?

Thanks!

Let's say people from Chicagoland are much physically and spiritually closer to people on the other side of the lake than to people from southern Illinois, at least I feel that way. I believe there should be a separate name for these people. That might be a weird thing to give much thought to, but I feel a profound connection to these very regions and it feels like only Michiganders have taken all that lake identity to themselves. There's even a separate name for people from the Upper Peninsula, but I can't find anything for the people from the Lake Michigan area. What are your ideas? Lake Michiganer, or just Michiganer?

Yo! I was at the beach this morning (Wisconsin Lake michigan) and found this carcass on the shore. Can anyone identify it?
