Hey Im in Lansing with a new boat and Im looking for some nice lakes to drop in and spend a day. Any suggestions?
Ive went to Higgins and Torch a few weeks ago. |

Could check out Ovid lake,but it's no wake. But this should help ya out http://www.lake-link.com/lakes/ |

We really like to boat on Hardy Dam on the Muskegon river is a nice spot. River Ridge, which is about right in the middle of the lake, has a nice boat ramp with fuel and munchies. It's located about 4 miles west of US 131 Exit 131. You can run upstream back to US 131 or downstream all the way to the dam. I am guessing it's about 12 miles long overall. Lot's of hot boats and places to stop as Consumers Energy owns most of the land around the lake so there are very few houses on the water.
Plenty of deep water, but there are some shallow spots, just watch where the other boats are running. We run up there all the time. Shoot me an IM for more info. Eric Edit to add check out www.speedwake.com for more boating spots and be careful when out that you don't loose any of your guns  in a tragic boating accident.

Another boat owner here in a dry county  You can go east to Genesee county I tow our pontoon there all the time here. My parents had a cabin on Lobdell . I've been west to Gun lake but its too shallow on the whole west side.
This is a good lake for a quick trip but is too small on the weekends here. PS: deadboi77 Thanks for the link ! |

Relatively easy to get to. There is also a few campgrounds on Hardy Pond. I have camped at Brower Park which is on the north side of the pond and at Sandy Beach which is at the south side. They are both nice places although I prefer Brower....fond memories...;) There is also Newaygo State Park but I haven't even been in there... |
