Lakes are abundant in the U.P., but the natural beauty and serenity of the two Brevort Lakes set them apart from others. Tucked away in the woods near the Lake Michigan shore and only a few miles down the road west of St. Ignace and the Mackinaw Straits, they provide the visitor a taste of the deep woods experience without the hassle of the crowds of the area or a long trail to get there. If in desperate need of a serious, relaxing getaway, visiting the Brevort Lakes area could be the answer.
The two lakes, Little and Big Lake Brevort, also known as the Brevoort Lake Recreation Area; are located near the town of Brevort, on U.S. 2. The area is filled with attractions for the traveler and has historical significance. The Brevort Lakes provide an inexpensive and pleasant base camp for trips to the Straits or the Soo.
