Club Outing – Baldwin, MI

SPECIAL CLUB OUTING PLANNED FOR JULY
By: Lynn W. Burry
Each year your Board of Directors plans three summer outings. The location of these outings is based on member input, the popularity of past outings and sometimes just to do something different that the entire family can enjoy.
This year’s July outing falls into that last category. The outing is planned for Friday, July, 12 through Sunday July 14. The location we have chosen has excellent facilities for everyone from the tent camper, full-service slots for the RV camper or someone wanting to stay in a cozy cabin. It is quite, super clean and very reasonably priced. Whether you are wading or floating, there are a number of outstanding rivers within a 30 minute drive. So you need not fish the same water every day if you so choose. You are minutes to two great fly shops, a number of canoe liveries and a full service grocery store should you forget something at home. There are also some interesting historic sites of in the area. And to top it all off, you are just minutes from one of the world’s best ice cream shops.
So where is this paradise you ask? It’s the “Whispering Oaks Campground and Cabins located at 8586 South M37, just south of Baldwin, Michigan. Some of my fishing friends and I have stayed at this place a couple times and can attest to everything being top notch. The PM River Lodge and Baldwin Bait and Tackle are just down the road. Baldwin itself has some really good restaurants. Jones’s Ice Cream Shop is one of the best there is featuring locally made, hand-dipped flavors sure to please everyone. As for the rivers, ample public access to the Pere Marquette and Baldwin Rivers is just minutes away. The Muskegon, White, Little Manistee, Pine, and Big Manistee are all just a short drive.
Trout and Smallmouth abound in the area streams as well as the many lakes in the area that offers some great pan fishing.
