looking on going on a "WakeBoard" Trip <BR> <BR>maybe Mt. Pleasant Area since theres also a casino. <BR> <BR>are there any lakes up there that are decent depth and calm water?

I grew up in that area. I wish I still lived there for the water, not much here in aspen. I grew up in gladwin which is about 30min from Mt. Pleasant (be carefull of the indians, they take your money!!!) the lake I grew up on, smallwood lake, was always had good water. nice bar on the lake w/ volleyball. there are also a couple others that are great. Pratt lake is smaller and gets a little more crowded, but still great compared to the reserviors I am on now. also sanford lake is closer to Mt. P but gets rough when the wind blows (not that often). Good luck

Im up in that area every weekend. We have a cottage on lake george which is about 30 min from mt pleasant. THere are a ton of lakes in that area so you can find water just about anywhere. But that casino likes to take alot of money id do my best to avoid that.

I'd be down for a michigan get together <BR>itch

I ride the area every weekend. Lake George is good during the week but just a little boat traffic kills the water conditions. Muskegon River 'Browers Park' is by far the best boarding in the area. Its about a 1 hour drive west from Mt. Pleasant. There are some rivers in the Midland area that are decent; however, they get pretty busy. <BR> <BR>There are tons of other lakes to board in the area; however, pick them carefully because most lakes limit high speed boating to 11:00AM to 7:30PM. <BR> <BR>Also, there are 0 decent lakes within 30 minutes of Mt. Pleasant so plan on driving a little.

rootc ... wtf? we don't need anyone else on the river. keep Brower's on the DL.
