What is the best vacation spot in Michigan for outdoor type activities - boating, fishing, hiking?

It might depend on what "boating" is for you.  If that includes sports like tubing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, then I certainly recommend the Coldwater Lake area in South Central Michigan.\n\nAdditionally, you might check out Torch Lake or Houghton Lake in northern lower Michigan.  Both of these lakes are famed for boating sports.\n\nAt any rate, there are a million things to do everywhere in Michigan, and I hope you have fun there!

Horesback riding, golf (signature courses as well as par 3 and mini golf).  There are night time light shows, swimming, fishing hiking, horseback riding, paddle boats "fine" dining (which I didn't find that great).  In the winter there is skiing also.\n\nI'm sure you've seen the website:\nhttp://www.oglebay-resort.com/\n\nI've been there.  It's nice for a state run "resort".

Lake skiing:\n\nNorth bay: Clear Lake or Lake Berryessa\n\nSouth/East Bay: Lake Don Pedro (plus there's three other lakes right up around Angels Camp that are nice).\n\nThat said, I think the best bay-area water-skiing destination is the Sac River Delta.  Smooth water, you can always find a quiet area to ski and though the scenery lacks big mountains, it's only 30 minutes to Disco (Discovery Bay - where you can get a boat) from Walnut Creek.  Fun fun fun.

Go here for Michigan ATV Safety courses.\n\nhttp://www.michiganatv.com/\n\nIt was recommended by the Michigan DNR. Their website also has more info\n\nhttp://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,1607,7-153--25906--,00.html\n\nBTW, Silver Lake does kick butt. You'll have an awesome time riding!\n\nHope this helps!

one of the best parks i've been to is el dorado park/nature center in long beach,ca. the park is so big it's cevided into about 2 sections in one section it has a nature center/trail. on the other side it has a train ride, a lake for fishing and paddle boats to ride, a few playgrounds, picnic areas w/benches, tables and some even have bbq grills, and on the weekends they even have poney rides. pony rides,train and paddle boats are for a fee of course.

hmm well are we talking about home excitement. LOL...  \nNo really, how about visiting the great lakes, Traverse City,  the haunted light house in Montague, just north of Muskegon, haunted light house, Cat Head Light House or  visiting the Sand Dunes,  doing ship wreck museum at White Fish Point, going to Detroit seeing Joe Lewis,  lots to do in Michigan...

Trust me, there are lakes whereever you go, look in the yellow pages for a chepstow based tackle shop. They will tell you the best ones to go to, and help with bait and day tickets too. Hope you catch a moby

Probably the best way to go fishing in central CA is to get a charter boat. The folks running these boats know some good spots, but the Carmel area is tricky since it's so close to the preserve in Monterey but not in the major fishing lanes.
