Lake Saint Helen
Well, well, well, have you heard about Lake St. Helen? It's a 2,400-acre paradise located in Roscommon County, Michigan, and let me tell you, it's the kind of place that dreams are made of! Not only is it a public lake, but it also borders on the charming community of St. Helen. So if you're looking for some good old-fashioned small-town hospitality, you've come to the right place. And don't worry, the locals won't bite (unless you're into that kind of thing). But let's talk about the real star of the show here - the lake itself. With 2,400 acres of crystal clear water, there's no shortage of fun to be had. You can swim, boat, fish, or just relax and soak up the sun. And did I mention that it's the headwaters for the south branch of the Au Sable River? That's right, you're practically swimming in history! So come on down to Lake St. Helen, where the water is clear, the people are friendly, and the fish practically jump into your boat. It's the kind of place that'll make you forget all your troubles and leave you feeling like a brand new person. Who knows, maybe you'll even catch a fish so big it'll make the record books!
