Here's an expanded list of things to do in Cheboygan, Michigan, on Black Lake for all seasons:
**Spring:**
1. **Fishing:** Spring is an excellent time for fishing as the fish become more active. Cast your line from the shores or rent a boat to explore different fishing spots on the lake.
2. **Birdwatching:** Witness the arrival of migratory birds as they return to the area for the breeding season. Bring your binoculars and spot a variety of bird species around the lake and nearby wetlands.
3. **Hiking:** Enjoy the mild temperatures and budding foliage by exploring the hiking trails surrounding Black Lake. Look for wildflowers blooming along the trails and enjoy the tranquil ambiance of the springtime forest.
**Summer:**
1. **Boating:** Take advantage of the warm weather by renting a boat and exploring the expansive waters of Black Lake. Whether you prefer motorboating, sailing, or canoeing, there's plenty of space to enjoy water activities.
2. **Swimming:** Cool off on hot summer days by taking a refreshing swim in Black Lake's clear waters. Find a designated swimming area or simply wade in from the shore for a relaxing dip.
3. **Picnicking and BBQ:** Pack a picnic basket with your favorite snacks and head to one of the lakeside picnic areas for a leisurely meal. Bring along a portable grill for a BBQ cookout with family and friends.
**Fall:**
1. **Leaf Peeping:** Experience the stunning fall foliage as the leaves change color around Black Lake. Take a scenic drive or hike along the shoreline to admire the vibrant hues of red, orange, and yellow.
2. **Hunting:** Fall is hunting season in Michigan, and Black Lake offers opportunities for hunting deer, small game, and waterfowl in designated areas. Make sure to obtain the necessary permits and follow all regulations.
3. **Campfires:** Enjoy the crisp autumn evenings by gathering around a campfire with loved ones. Roast marshmallows, share stories, and soak in the cozy atmosphere as the stars twinkle overhead.
**Winter:**
1. **Ice Fishing:** When Black Lake freezes over, it becomes a popular destination for ice fishing. Drill a hole in the ice, drop your line, and wait for a bite from species like perch, walleye, and pike.
2. **Snowmobiling:** Explore the winter wonderland surrounding Black Lake on a snowmobile. Traverse snowy trails and enjoy scenic views of the frozen landscape as you zip through the woods.
3. **Ice Skating:** If conditions permit, lace up your ice skates and glide across the smooth surface of Black Lake. Find a cleared area or join locals for a friendly game of ice hockey.
No matter the season, Cheboygan and Black Lake offer an abundance of outdoor activities for visitors to enjoy year-round.
