| The cold waves of Cass Lake on the beach at Dodge #4 State Park in Waterford Township. |
A new hobby of mine took me to a spot I never realized existed.
I recently swung by to Dodge #4 State Park, a small beachfront park on the shores of Cass Lake in Waterford. I wanted to swing by and find a geocache hidden there, something I’d like to talk more about in a future post.
This 139-acre park is a little peninsula park, mostly there to serve as a boat launch and beach. I made the decision to stop by in late January with the wind whipping and trees covered in snow. Truth be told, there wasn’t a ton to see besides the roaring water, which was great except for the fact that the wind was bitterly cold.
The park was a donation to the state from the Dodge brothers in 1922. Since then, it’s provided plenty of outdoor activities, especially related to water fun.
My visit was fairly quiet. I saw a handful of people, including some sledders, but overall a quiet place in the winter. I imagine it’s packed on a warm summer day, which is definitely the best time to head here.
More adventures hopefully coming soon; it's a busy life as I manage work and family, which leaves me little time to recap adventures.
