McCormick Wilderness

My wife and I love this place! We hiked to Lower Baraga Lake and ate lunch. The hike was great. A little rocky towards the end but manageable. The drive on the 607 from the 41 was fine. A little wavy and bumpy but no where near as bad as some of the roads that I have driven in some cities. Don’t let the drive deter you. Next time we will hike to White Deer Lake.

I first entered the White Deer Lake trail entrance in the mid 1970's before it was open to the public. Four of us carried canoes in and we camped inside the main lodge on the lake. There was an abundance of firewood already split for use in the fireplace making it very comfortable for late autumn. On another trip we hiked into the north entrance from the Triple A Rd. along the headwaters of the Yellow Dog to Bulldog Lake. The virgin white pine are much more prevalent on the north side of the property as well as some excellent native brook trout fishing. Memories to last a lifetime.

Although a smaller patch of wilderness, it is quite possible to get out off trail and lose yourself for days! Great wildlife, and some logging history to find. I've been going for years and still haven't made it to White Deer Lake. I spend my time in the northwest, Lake Dortay is recommended!

Absolutely Beautiful!! What do I say??? Definitely a place to just get away!!! The best time to go is near or in the fall!! It’s just simply amazing. Definitely worth the trip to camp out and explore

Was there in 1988. It was amazing.

Wonderful area for wildlife.
