North Bar Lake

Paved Parking Lot

Water: No
Boat Ramp: There is no boat ramp. Kayaks or canoes can be carried from the parking lot along the accessible trail to North Bar Lake.
Beach Access: There is an accessible packed crushed stone trail from the parking lot to North Bar Lake, which is about 200 yards. From the end of this trail at North Bar Lake, the trail becomes soft and sandy and becomes steep as it goes over the fore dunes to Lake Michigan.
Points of Interest: The smaller North Bar Lake is often warm in the summer, so families with small children like to swim there and play in the shallow outlet of the lake as it flows into Lake Michigan. Depending on the wave action of Lake Michigan, there may or may not be an outlet from North Bar Lake. Sometimes it is completely blocked by sand.
