Tubbs
Lake State Forest Campground
is currently
OPEN.
The area was first flooded in the
early 1900's by a beaver dam.
The DNR built Winchester Dam in the
late 1950's and approximately 1,420
acres were flooded. The
drainage area of the Martiny Lakes
Flooding is approximately 38 square
miles. The project flooded a
total of eight lakes, all of which
had drained into the south branch of
the Chippewa River thus creating the
Martiny Chain of Lakes.
The
existing lakes are: Big Evans,
Saddlebag, Boom, Lost, Tubbs,
Dogfish, Bullhead and Manaka.
The chain of lakes are connected by
channels (weather/vegetation
permitting). A unique
feature of Tubbs is its naturally
occurring stand of wild rice.
Wild rice across Michigan is
uncommon and has greatly reduced in
numbers. Only about a half
dozen stand of wild rice still exist
in the state.

FIREWOOD |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
The Mecosta County
Park Commission has decided to continue its current policy
which does not allow campers to bring in their own firewood.
We have reviewed the press release stating that the firewood
ban has been lifted from the Lower Peninsula, but also take
heed to the requests that we still not move firewood as new
pests are beginning to cause problems with other tree
species.
Firewood must be
purchased through our park office, or through an approved
wood vendor. The wood vendor list, when it becomes
available in March, can be found
here.
