Sunken Lake Park

Single lane, no dedicated trailer parking — you're basically squeezing in alongside the day-use area. This is really a hand-launch spot. Kayaks and small jon boats are ideal; anything over 16 feet and you're going to have a frustrating time maneuvering.

If you're coming from the north, you'll end up on Maple Lane Road, which is gravel. It's smooth enough, but if you're towing a trailer you weren't expecting, it can catch you off guard. Coming in off M-65 from the south is a more conventional approach.

The lake is untreated, so there are leeches — worth knowing if you're wading to launch or retrieve. It's a gorgeous little lake with solid fishing, but wear boots if you're getting out of the boat in the shallows.

Sunken Lake is small and secluded, but it holds fish. Panfish and bass are the main draw. The quiet water and lack of heavy boat traffic make it a great spot for kayak fishing — you can cover most of the lake in a morning.

Mosquitoes and gnats are relentless here, especially on the trails and near the water in summer. Spray alone won't cut it — bring a head net and a Thermacell if you're fishing from shore or launching at dawn.
