Craig Lake State Park is the most remote state park in the system spanning more than 8,400 acres in Baraga County. Rugged and wild, access into the park can be somewhat of an adventure. Vehicles with high-ground clearance are recommended due to the rocky conditions of the road.
There are six lakes in the park, three of them named for the children of Frederick Miller of the famed Miller Brewing Co, numerous small ponds and a variety of wildlife such as deer, black bear, beaver, loons and moose. Craig Lake is 374 acres and features six islands and high granite bluffs along its northern shoreline. In keeping with the Miller beer theme, a nearby lake located northwest of the park, is named High Life Lake.
