![]() Kerry Kelly 2005 This beautiful area where the Platte River flows into Lake Michigan is a busy place during the hot summer days. It is the terminus of many tubing, canoeing, or kayaking trips. The river is shallow and flows rapidly at this point, which makes it a favorite place for tubing, and on a breezy day, there will be some interesting wave action when you reach the big lake. Take the short walk along the river to the beach and enjoy the merging of the waters. ![]() Kerry Kelly 2005 The picnic area at Lake Township Park offers a relaxing way to end your river trip or watch the beach and boating activities. (A township user fee is required.) There is also a boat launch here, so you can put in your fishing boat and head to Lake Michigan. There are restroom facilities and plenty of parking. There is an Automated Fee Station here as well. ![]() Kerry Kelly 2005 |
