There is a boat ramp at Perkins Park just a short distance from the Lodge if you wish to bring your own boat. Lake Independence is a great fishing lake and well known for Jumbo Perch and Northern Pike as well as Walleye and Small Mouth Bass. After a day by the water, try out the cedar sauna located on the lower level of the lodge for a true Northwoods experience. The deck and grounds are furnished with outdoor furniture and there is a charcoal grill for outdoor cooking and a fire pit for your campfires. There is an enclosed glassed-in Sun Room furnished with wicker furniture that offers a wrap-around view of the lake, sunsets, and the Huron Mountains. Internet access is available at the General Store in Big Bay, only 1 1/2 miles from the Lodge. The Big Bay Pathway offers 4 loops of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing or you can hike and bike the many back roads and trails in the Escanaba River State Forest and the Huron Mountains. These public lands offer many opportunities for hunting and fishing around Big Bay. Anglers might like to try out some of the local streams or go charter fishing on Lake Superior for Salmon and Lake Trout. The movie, Anatomy of a Murder, was based on an event that took place in Big Bay. The Thunder Bay Inn, the site of some of the filming of this classic film, has a very interesting collection of newspaper articles and photographs. Stop by the Inn for lunch or dinner and a little history about the movie. Enjoy great off-roading on the many back roads and trails through the forest. Mountain View Lodge has easy access to the ATV trails that traverse the rugged wilderness for some fun riding. Visit the Thomas Rock Overlook for a great view of Lake Independence and Lake Superior.
