Tippy Dam — Attraction in Dickson Township

Great getaway!!! Stayed at the DNR campground. Mid may weather pushed to reserve the only cabin a few months early. 4 night stay was the perfect amount. Cabin cost was so worth it. Great option to have heat and a roof. Great morning coffee spot overlooking the lake and a good opening in the canopy for checkin out the stars. Easy access to water and vaults. Both visible. Last day there saw a DNR officer, while in uniform and using a DNR truck, picking only recycleable pop and beer cans from the dumpster for the 10 cents a can. He drove off with a full bag worth a few bucks. Too bad he wasn't cleaning the bathrooms or doing another important part of his job. Watched him at this dumpster for 40 mins. How much government time is wasted for his personal gain that we are paying for twice. His wage paid for by permit and site fees and the money I threw away in deposits due to no recycling...

The trails are disgusting. Why in the world would anyone think it is okay to leave their trash along the river? Every little trail off the path down to the river had trash.

I was also irritated at the dusches that brought boats and thought it would be great to sit right in the middle of the river instead of leaving where the bank fishers were they totally C blocked our casts. Not to mention their boats stunk and their music was blaring. Once they left we were back to quiet fishing but it was mostly baby brown trout and a couple rainbow on...

This park is awesome! Perfect for a picnic or walk along one of the many trails available. This park is great for the outdoor enthusiast who wants to walk on a natural, unmarked landmark OR if you choose to walk on a trail with newly renovated features such as steps and sidewalks, either are available for your convenience and utilization! The landscape is gorgeous, the area is quiet without much traffic the day I visited. I was able to explore fisheries, hatcheries and more of the outdoor resources that Michigan has to offer! It was a GREAT DAY AND ADVENTURE for me and my loved one. Take a trip to the outdoor life of Tippy Dam, located in the heart of Michigan in Brethren, Michigan, Manistee County. There's also access points for boating and fishing. Salmon is the most popular fish caught...
