Dunham Lake

Dunham Lake is one of those spots that doesn’t try too hard, which is honestly why locals keep coming back. The lake access is the real draw here — there’s something about being right on the water that makes it worth the trip out to Gladwin. Wheelchair accessibility is a genuine plus, not just a checkbox, so it works for a pretty wide range of visitors. Pack a lunch, take your time, and don’t be in a rush.
