Manistee National Recreation River One of many bayous along the lower portion of the river, Blacksmith is an oxbow lake left from an old river channel. The river channel moves during geologic time, creating new meanders in the mile-wide river valley. The North Country Trail follows the ridge along the bayou and crosses the entrance road. This is a good area for ice fishing. Brochure with map : Manistee River This brochure is set to print on 11 x 17 paper, landscape (wide) orientation. To print on 8 1/2 x 11 paper set the print area to "shrink to printable area", this will make the text on the page smaller. Flickr Photo Albums Manistee River

Always a great area to camp, affordable and enough space between campsites to avoid noise issues
Lots of trashy losers making much noise and being skanky. But still a cheap and ok place to stay a day or so.
great get away from reality . just don't bring a tent. too many branches falling down and ripping holes into your tent . possibly getting hurt . plus aminals go through your food at night if not stored properly
