Happy Rock Resort

For a lot of people, summertime in Southwest Michigan means taking a vacation at a lakefront cabin. Happy Rock Resort, located in Lawton, is a premiere location for just such a getaway. Situated right by the sandy shore of beautiful Gravel Lake, Happy Rock Resort offers everything you could want in a summer vacation. For the fishing enthusiast, the waters of Gravel Lake are perfect because of the visibility, depth, and quantity of fish like northern pike, largemouth bass, bluegill, yellow perch, bullhead, and even some walleye and crappie. And because the beach front cabins offer kitchens and outdoor grills, you can fry up the catch of the day and savor your hard work.

Folks that prefer activities other than fishing will not be disappointed, though, since Happy Rock Resort features many other traditional Southwest Michigan vacation activities. Sandy beaches abound here, and there is no shortage of public access for swimming. The waters of Gravel Lake are perfect for water sports like kayaking, tubing, and wake boarding. Guests can also rent pontoons or speedboats at the local marina. Perhaps the best feature of Gravel Lake is that it has the designation of being an ‘all sports lake’. This means that there are no restrictions concerning speed, horsepower, wakes, or time. In other words, feel free to really let loose and enjoy your favorite activity. If you stay at Happy Rock around the Fourth of July, you can enjoy the boat parades and Paddle Boat Regatta. When evening rolls around, you can sit down by the beach and enjoy the pleasures of sitting around a campfire with family or friends. If you keep an eye on the water, you might see any number of birds that call Gravel Lake their home.

The beach front cabins are the perfect place to wind down after a long day or even just in between the day’s many activities. The cabins are all newly remodeled and offer plenty of amenities like DVD/VHS players, microwaves, coffee makers, wood burning stoves, and, in some units, air conditioning for those hot summer nights. Altogether, Happy Rock Resort is the perfect choice for a Southwest Michigan vacation whether it’s summer or any of the other seasons.
