Rock Lake

Named during the 1900s during the old copper mining days, this beach is on a peaceful, secluded inland lake behind the town of Bruce Mines. The drive to it is very scenic, as the back roads take you through farmland. This is a great place to swim and have a BBQ (a camping-sized one is best). What's really nice about this beach is that you could have the entire beach to yourself all day—it's that awesomely secluded.
