This is why I am at the lake. I never know what my camera might catch. Beautiful.

Truly a great day out on the water.... so many little places to explore and the 4 hours is ample time to enjoy them all!! Will definitely be returning.

Close. Can walk there from the house. Lots of room to social distance. Rent a kayak and swim. Picnic, too.

Not a bad lake to go kayaking in you have 3 other lakes if you want to go and explore.

Close to home, well maintained, Ive lived in or around Vandercook for 66 years and its a nice park, there should be pictures of how the park looked before the fire, so the kids could get a idea of how it was way back when. When street cars used to bring people to the park, and how large it was, but now its only about the 8th of the size it was then.

Its ok clean and beautiful but those rocks is hard on your feet lol trying to swim

Nice park. It has restrooms and beach area. Nice playground and parking. It is adjacent to the playing fields. Could be nicer but it is a nice park overall

Nice place to cool off with a swim. Playground for the kids was excellent.

A beautiful Labor Day kayaking on Vandercook Lake.

Its a nice place for an afternoon cookout with family, but also a relaxing spot to unwind.

Beautiful place. Lots of water front, boat launch, kayak rental. Still closed that I know

Beach is poor and water needs to be cleaned up. The kayak rental place is good

Absolutely love Vandercook lake! Grew up with in walking distance.

Absolutely love it. Very clean lake and has a lot of room to walk!

First time ever at the lake it was the most beautiful place and the water was great n warm

Had a great time Kayaking up the grand River from Vandrrcook lake. Lots of area to cover in a short period of time.

Has shady areas, well maintained. The lake is a little rocky though.

My dog love loved it ..l

Bathroom was disgusting and the lake had trash in it. Pretty veiw, just not practical

Very nice! relaxing.

Weather was nice. Park was clean.

Great place for some casual kayaking with family

Kayaking, swimming, sunning, walking the dog or fishing, always lovely at the lake.

It was a beautiful evening. With a gorgeous sunset. The parks always great.

Very relaxing there today.

Lots of mature trees for shade, large play structure for the kids, large grassy areas for picnics etc, pavilions for parties and grilling, a large clean beach area very shallow all the way to the buoys, a kayak rental company operates on site also. Always clean and well maintained.Across the park by the public boat launch theres baseball diamonds - but those could use a little bit of love.All in all Id much rather come here to this park/beach than most others in Jackson/Lenawee but I wont bad-mouth those parks - cheers!

Vcl is the spot. Wym???? Good scuba diving

Great little park. Plenty of open room, picnic tables, and a couple of pavilions. The kayak rental was a lot of fun. Plenty of places to go by kayak to keep you busy for a few hours. Great fun at the lake!

Avia can do the same thing what I did when she grows up

Nasty dirty water no sand. Will never go back!

Grew up around here great

Relaxing always ️ being around water!

Car show was great time

Wish it were more sand & less rocks.

It is a nice park with only a few draw backs. They dont allow dogs, but people bring them anyway, so the rules are not enforced. There is no sand beach, and the shallow around the shore is covered with small rocks in the water. You must wear water shoes or risk cutting your feet. And third, the grassy park is covered in goose poop. Other than that, it is a good place for a picnic. Be there by 10 or 11 am to get a shady spot by the water.

Ive been going to this park for years. Its a great place for reunions.

Nice day on the water

Clean and love renting the kayaks

There isnt enough benches in the shade and the filler at the bottom of everything needs to be redone. The equipment is up way to high from the ground.Other then this, its a fun place to go hangout

Great place to bring the kids just stay away from the left side. Some holes that swallow you up. So keep all eyes on you babys. I have a old friend whos past know.. God bless him but he lost a daughter to the lake so please be careful and boaters try not to dry dock..Ive seen it to many times

Park was clean nice

Nice area. Ok lake. Has big dropoffs

I stepped on something sharp in the water. You need water shoes in this lake as there are so many rocks and sharp branches embedded in the dirt underneath the water. Possibly broken glass too. I had to dig into the bottoms of both my feet and get out tiny pieces of I dont know what.

The lake itself is rocky and the playground is outdated

Clean place. Wasnt trashed and piled with drug paraphernalia like most Ive been seeing.

Always clean and well maintained! Great place for birthday picnics and family. Outings! I ur just a relaxing day at the beach

Litttttle undermaintenanced, but still nice all around.

Clean, calm, and peaceful

Normally nice lake...very rocky this summer, much more than usual. Water colder too and very shallow this summer.

A great park to dip yours toes and to have a picnic.

It was great

I love it because its is quite the place I like to go so I can read a book.

The lake is beautiful... Cant wait for the weather to warm up!

The park is great but the lake is bad! Cut both my feet last time I went in the water

Nice

A very nice park with clean restrooms great place for a family.

Beautiful day. The scenery was amazing

Kid friendly. Kayak lessons and rentals.

Very nice place to chill

Nice park but the beach was rocky bottom

Picnic with the family! Nice pavilion

Very clean these days

Its a free park, and lots of people live on the lake so sometimes they set off fireworks at night.Theres a little play area for small kids thats got a jungle gym and swings, as well as a couple of benches around it so that you can watch your kids and make sure they dont get hurt.The water was full of algae though, and it was very warm, almost like bath water. So if youre squeamish you might not like it at all.There was a creepy guy here too, we came on the 4th of July and he wouldnt stop approaching us and he walked around the parking lot for a while checking doors. If youre very concerned about losing valuables I suggest that you keep your doors locked and your windows rolled up.Very few zebra mussels or anything like that in the water as well, not a lot of fish either. I think its because the water is so hot.Theres no beach part, it just goes from grass to Lake, no sand in the middle.we went and the concession stand was closed because someone had died in the lake the day before, which surprised me because why was the lake still open for the 4th of July? Thats a little disrespectful.

Park was nice but beach was covered with algae

Beautiful view of some big houses

Very nice and clean park

Great place for swimming cooking out or just lounging

Perfect when its mowed well

Nice and quiet place in the evening

Not a very clean lake. No sandy beach area

Love that you can rent kayaks here! Has nice bathrooms. Wish it still had the natural spring but the kids still like it.

It Beautiful place

Pretty little park near Jackson

Nice park, too afraid to get in the water because people have died here.

Went on a Thursday. Had the lake to our selves.

Great place to have a picnic, go swimming, take a walk or just sit in the sun!

Lovely park with nice pavilions for gatherings. Would be nice if the swimming area in the lake was significantly larger.

Love the lake

Peaceful. The kids enjoy the play area and water

View of the lake was nice

Dirty water that smells like old feet.

Kayaking with the gbabies. It was so much fun

Family friendly, clean, and safe fun time.

Taped off.

Absolutely amazing .. My first time paddle boarding and it was great prices are good too

Good place to be

Grass was not mowed. Half way to my knees. Whole park needs cleaned.

Close to home and very well maintained
