Hiking
Elk Lake is a scenic lake located a bit north of Detroit. There are sandy banks along the edges and the water is very clear. There are two beaches, one on the east side of the lake, and a better one at the Elk Lake Campground on the west side. Dogs are allowed, but must be on a leash.
The trail to get up here can be a bit rough on dogs feet, so bringing shoes for them is highly encouraged to avoid having to carry them back to the car.
