Connected Waterways

Brockies Pond sits in the lake-dotted forest country of Luce County, which drains into the Tahquamenon River watershed to the north and east. Specific inflows and outflows are not well-documented, typical of small UP ponds.

Winter & Ice Safety

Small ponds in Luce County typically freeze solid and early given the UP's long, cold winters. Ice fishing is possible but access may be limited by unplowed roads — check conditions and plan accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Brockies Pond?
Brockies Pond is in Luce County in Michigan's eastern Upper Peninsula, in the heavily forested area between Newberry and the Lake Superior shoreline.
Is there a boat launch on Brockies Pond?
Yes, there's one launch on the lake. Given the remote location and small size, expect a basic access point — a small boat, canoe, or kayak is your best bet.
Are there campgrounds near Brockies Pond?
Yes — Natalie State Forest Campground is nearby and offers rustic state forest camping (typically vault toilets, no hookups). Kritters Campground is a private option in the area with more amenities.
Is Brockies Pond crowded?
Not at all. With only two Google reviews and one launch in sparsely populated Luce County, this is one of the quieter lakes you'll find. Expect to have the water mostly to yourself.
Can you kayak or canoe on Brockies Pond?
Absolutely — the small, sheltered size makes it well-suited for paddling. It's the kind of water where a canoe or kayak is arguably the ideal vessel.
Scout's Notes
Lake Vibe & Fishing Intel

Brockies Pond is a small, quiet lake tucked into Luce County in the eastern Upper Peninsula — deep in the woods between Newberry and the Lake Superior shoreline. With just one launch and only a couple of Google reviews (both 5-star), this is about as off-the-radar as it gets. Luce County is one of Michigan's least populated, and Brockies Pond fits that profile perfectly — expect solitude, not crowds.

The surrounding area is heavily forested state land, with Natalie State Forest Campground nearby for rustic camping and Kritters Campground as a private option. This is the kind of spot where a canoe or small johnboat makes more sense than a bass boat. If you're looking for a quiet paddle or a place to wet a line without seeing another soul, Brockies Pond delivers.
