Description:
Wycamp Lake is a small, shallow lake in northern Emmet County. Much of its shoreline is state-owned. Water flows into the east side of the lake through Collins Creek. A dam at the lake’s outlet to Wycamp Creek controls the water level of the lake. Wycamp Creek flows into Lake Michigan north of Cross Village. The lake has many vegetated islands, and many standing or fallen trees in its waters are relics of what was once not underwater. Muskgrass, bladderwort, and swaying bulrush are common plants in the lake.
