Elbow Lake

**Location & Facilities**
Located in Marenisco in Gogebic County, Michigan, Elbow Lake offers a hard-surfaced boat ramp suitable for launching and retrieving smaller to medium-sized boats. The day-use area includes a paved parking lot with approximately 30 spaces in the northern section near the ramp, making it convenient for paddlers and boaters.

**Nearby Camping & Recreation**
The site is adjacent to Bobcat Lake Camp, a first-come, first-served campground where sites can be claimed upon arrival. Payment can be made via the Recreation.gov mobile app's Scan and Pay feature when available. Two additional campgrounds (Henry Lake Camp and another Bobcat Lake facility) are located within 10 miles, offering camping options for multi-day trips. Note that as of January 2025, running water is not available at campsites.

**Fishing & Water Conditions**
Elbow Lake spans 26 water acres and supports healthy populations of Bluegill, Largemouth bass, and Yellow Perch, making it an attractive destination for anglers. The sheltered size of the lake makes it suitable for recreational paddling and fishing trips. For current wind and weather conditions, consult the interactive Michigan DNR boating guide before heading out.
