Centrally located within 30 minutes of Munising and Manistique. Byers Lake Lodge is located in the heart of the Big Island Lake Wilderness offering ample opportunity for your year-round outdoor adventures.

SUMMER
A very private setting awaits with a gated drive and peaceful setting. Canoes and kayaks are awaiting your arrival.

Lake Superior offers many adventures including pictured rocks, glass bottom boat tours, kayaking, and agate hunting. Yooperlites can be found along the northern shores of pictured rocks on the many easily accessible public beaches.

FALL
The vast wilderness of the Hiawatha National Forest offers countless attractions. Take a fall color tour on the endless backroads and trails of the central upper peninsula. Rent a side by side or atv for your outdoor adventure. Opportunities for waterfowl, gamebird, bear, and deer hunting are abundant throughout the fall season.

A resort for all seasons: Visit the "snowmobile capital of the world". The Haywire grade snowmobile trail (Trail 41) is right out your front door. On trail adventures await as well as back country riding for those looking for added excitement. The heated garage fully stocked with tools and equipment is an added benefit of staying with us! If hiking is more your style; the Eben Ice Caves offers a unique and memorable experience.

SPRING
Spring offers a quiet time in the central UP with adventures such as mushroom hunting, searching for lake superior agates, and site seeing. With the immense snow melt comes impressive waterfalls dotted throughout the landscape. Visit Oswalds Bear Ranch for a unique adventure found nowhere else.

Byers Lake

Nice comfortable cabin right on the lake. Great view of the lake and close to all the snowmobile and orb trails. Plenty of square footage.

Everything you want from the UP

Great Host and accurate description of everything. Centrally located to Munising and Manistique. Even went a little farther and went to Black rocks in Marquette. You can unwind and decompress in the middle of the woods but still have WiFi to be able to do thing if needed. In the downtime my kids went fishing on with the provided kayaks and caught a few 3-4 Lb bass. They provide poles even though we brought or own. Another very nice commodity is they provided all the fire wood for the campfires, very dry and burnt so easily.. Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting a UP getaway. Ps the driveway adds to the feel, yes it’s long but it’s so worth it.

Unique Wilderness Experience in Michigan's Upper Peninsula !!!

My wife Linda and I stayed at Byers Lake Lodge June 27-July 6, 2024. From the time that we booked our stay we were in contact Sarah and Bob. They were very accommodating to any questions and concerns that we had. The lodge was very clean, comfortable and had pretty much all the elements needed to enjoy our vacation there. The location was the key to our level of enjoyment, it is quiet and isolated, we saw several different animals and species of birds We were mainly there to fish, hike, and relax. The fishing was quite good, we caught well over 40 largemouth bass, for someone reason we only caught a couple northern pike. The other folks who lived nearby stated that they had not caught many pike the last couple of years. As some of the other folks who have visited/stayed at Byers Lake Lodge have stated that the two track that leads to the rental is a little rough. It is almost a priority to have something of a vehicle with a higher ground clearance. Also be aware that you are in a Wilderness area there are going to be a higher level of insects, mosquitoes and biting flies. Good insect repellent is must, if you want to hike wear long pants/long sleeve shirts. The view from upper deck was great, you have a view of the entire lake. One evening just as it was getting dark a Barred Owl flew into a dead tree to the right of the deck. It called several times and then flew across the deck in silhouette.
