Platte Plains Trail

"Hiked the Bass Lake Loop. The trail is well groomed and peaceful. Not crowded and not to many bugs the day we were there. There is a small dock with a bench at Bass Lake where several people were trying their luck. The only reason I am not rating this trail with 5 stars is we found the trail signage to be lacking. Many trail intersections with no markers, which caused a few wrong turns."

"Well marked, pretty walk, was hot and humid, bugs were making themselves known! Parking area has a vault toilet, no room for RVs."

"Great hike. Many trail loops to choose from. Uphill, downhill, twists and turns. Direct access to lake Michigan not a Vista. Coukd walk tge Beach there for miles. There is a walk in camp ground too, which means there's an outhouse, which was clean (hand sanitizer was frozen but to be expected)."

"Several options for different length hikes and decent signing on the trail. Very nice boat launch and small parking area. A nicer bulletin board and map with a digital option to purchase a pass at the site would be great. I would have purchased a pass but didn't want to drive back to a NPS office so rolled the dice and got lucky!"

"We didn't actually go hiking, but the trails seemed nice. I sat by the water near the boat ramp for probably about an hour, reading and enjoying the nature around me. My brother fished for just as long. We ate dinner there next to the water, and had a really great time. There was so much beauty surrounding us and we could hear birds, frogs, and fish. A dragonfly even landed on me a couple times. My dog loved playing in the water and walking through the woods. Overall, it's just a great place to spend the day whether you're boating, fishing, hiking, or just sitting there."
