We were there a few weeks ago. We looked all over for wildlife. We found moose tracks. The ranger said they were fresh as he drove that way a few hours earlier and no tracks. Almost saw one, rats. We will try again. The 2 Rangers we met were very nice, informative, and we learned a lot.

Beautiful place. I didn't do much exploring around the park, but I did camp at North Michigan Reservoir. I was in spot 247 and had a great view and easy access to the lake. Some spots are kind of close, and some are not. Site 248 is the best, followed by 247. It you want a lakeview spot book a site on either end of the campground, the ones in the middle have a big hill in front of them, so no lake view. (The campground side of the resivour without the cabins)No showers, water or electricity. Two outhouse restrooms are located at each end of the campground. There are water fill and dumpstations a few min drive from the campground. Stayed 2 nights and only saw a fox. It was getting into coolers and trash, keep that stuff locked inside vehicles. Was hoping to see moose, but no luck. Bring a paddle board or kayak for the lake. Make sure to stop by moose visitor center to get a day pass, it is not included in Camping pass. I entered at north park campground and there was no attendant on duty, so i ended up having to drive all the way back to moose visitor center for my pass. 0 to 1 bars of service with at&t. There is service when you enter at north park campground. I was able to stay connected with starlink.

Went camping up at the North Park campground in the middle of September for a weekend. The campground was amazing and had all the amenities. We also went for a hike around the Gould loop and had an amazing time with excellent weather. This is a nice little getaway place that's not overly crowded and full of fun things to do. We'll definitely be coming back.

A beautiful state park! Visit the Moose Visitor Center where there’s free wifi. There are several campgrounds with various amenities. Ranger Lakes CG has three nice fishing lakes with well kept walking trails. Northpark CG now offers full hookups at some sights. Michigan Lake has some lakeside sights and the lake was nice to kayak on. Hike the .8 mile trail to Agnes Lake, at around 10,500’ elevation. Close by the park is the Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge with a nice visitor center and a 1/2 mile raised boardwalk with many informational signs about the area’s waterfowl. There are over 600 moose now in the area of State Forest after being introduced in the 70’s and 80’s.

This is an incredible park! If you want remote this is it! You’ll spend more driving to the trailhead than you will actually hiking, The drive up to the Lake Agnes trailhead was pretty bumpy. We were luckily in a Toyota 4Runner. The hike to Lake Agnes was moderate and somewhat challenging (but mostly due to the thin air). Coming down was not bad. The hike is well worth it for sure. Lake Agnes is gorgeous.
