Both of these Colorado water resources are very close to the Bockman campground. Both lakes are stocked regularly and are a great place for family canoeing, kayaking and boating since both North Michigan and Ranger Lakes are restricted to wakeless speeds. North Michigan has two boat ramps and Ranger Lakes features a large pier that makes fishing for those with disabilities much easier! There are many other activities in the area too.
