Barely in the L.P. yet is the Indian River area about 30-40 miles south of the Straits. An inland waterway that connects half a dozen good fishing lakes and swimming also. We like Burt Lakes State Park for a CG. It doesn't have FHU but bathouses are very good. Other FHU CG's in the area.
Then there's big and little Glen Lakes with good fishing and swimming about 30 or so miles west of Traverse City. Some FHU CG's in on the lake. At Elk Rapids about 30 miles north of Traverse City on Elk Lake, Lake Skemog, and Trout Lake also.
I already mentioned the West Michigan shoreline and connecting inland lakes from about Sugatuck north to the Traverse City area where they have about everything you could want. Gun Lake south of Grand Rapids, Higgins lake and Houghton Lake maybe a hundred miles east of Traverse City but they do get crowded. Gull Lake between Battle Creek and Kalamazoo. There are so many that I could mention all over the state.
All will have the fish you named and the facilities/rentals you desire and some have big laketrout or browntrout also. Your kids would stop chattering for weeks if they hooked one of them!
