Lake LeVasseur is a small, quiet lake in Marquette County — the kind of spot that barely registers on most maps but rewards paddlers and wildlife watchers who know it's there. The single boat launch has a reputation for being rough: reviews warn of a rubber mat and submerged rocks that make trailer launching difficult, so this is really a carry-in lake for kayaks and canoes. Pike have been caught near the launch, and the lake sees some seasonal use for cross-country skiing in winter.
There are no campsites directly on the lake, though several campgrounds sit within range in the greater Marquette area, including Chocolay River RV & Campgrounds and Gitche Gumee RV Park. Lake Superior's shoreline is nearby — Sunset Scenic View is the closest beach access. If you're looking for a low-traffic paddle with good wildlife viewing and fall color, LeVasseur fits the bill, but don't plan on backing a boat trailer down that ramp.
