It isnt a bad area, I’ve heard of people harvesting decent sized bucks. However, it gets very busy during hunting season and there are brush piles and stands every 100 feet.

Pretty place! Can be buggy, but theres great wildlife diversity at times.

Great place for public hunting and on the off season a good secluded hike

Great place for small game

Great place to walk the dog.

Super close to town, yet feels like Im in the wilderness.

Nice little lake. Wish I had snapped a few pics for you all. Small clean lake I believe is an all sports lake. Good fishing, my Godson fishes there regularly and always takes a few home for the grill. Public launch site and a very clean lake with clear water and not overpopulated with boat and jet ski activities.

Good place to look for birds, particularly on brush piles.

It’s a nice area, however, it gets really busy, especially during hunting season, and there are stands and brushpiles everywhere. Probably not the best place to hunt.

Good location, just out far enough to be safe for rim fire squirrel hunting. The road in to every game area has been dismal and Gourdneck is no acception. Huge, deep potholes separated by 30 little ones. Where is the farmer guy who has the contract to farm the game area fields? It seems like a monthly dragging of a box blade would be enough. While theyre there they could remove the fallen trees from the main walking trail.

I love this place ... Its always a great place to take a walk with your dog or by yourself theres plenty of room to roam without seeing many people along the way

Beautiful, quiet, a great place for a walk during the non-hunting season. Just wear plenty of bug repellent for ticks and mosquitos!

I grew up in these woods. I prefer a walking adventure to hunting in these woods mainly for the fact that is seems everyone deer hunts here. There are a couple of fishing ponds and a few small streams on one side and a lake on the other. Besides the hum of 131 this is a great place to escape for a day.

Beautiful place.

This is a hunting area that my hunting licence pays for. Not a dog walking or dog run area.The dog can be shot by mistake. Go to the park to walk your dogs not hunting areas paid for by hunting money .

Seen paw prints larger than my open hand while hunting. I went out to hunt around 5am and I forgot something in my van so as I got to my tree stand I turned back for my van and about 2/3 of the way back I noticed large paw prints all over my tracks and they crossed mine from right to left staying in the woods crossing over the walking path I nocked an arrow and clipped my release pulling on my deloop ready for a quick shot steady listening even thou I had a super bright headlamp on my dad bought when the power went out after a minute of hearing nothing I kept walking back to my car those are the largest prints I have seen on any dog twice the size of the largest I have ever seen to date the sighting was in fall of 2015-2017 I dont remember exactly im not good with time date or nameswhen I left the woods a DNR officer was waiting at my van and I told him what I saw and he told me the cyotes are getting huge now

Great place to go and hike

Good wilderness for Turkey, deer, small game.

Not always open. Long drive to get to the lake and only good for putting in small boats or kayaks.

I just wanted to sit in the woods for an hour and daydream. It was perfect.

A great place where you can get some hunting and fishing in.

Ate my lunch there it was nice.

Nice place for a walk

Good boat ramps. Dog walk part. Swimming beach. Walking trails. Covered picnic areas has it all

I know this land like the back of my hand....just wish all the dog walkers would go a mile down the road to the DOG PARK!!! Ive had many issues with dog owners during hunting season!!! Idiots but the land is great and so is the fishing!!!

You really need a boat to go and actually explore this lake...theres more there than meets the eyes.

Sugarloaf lake! My all time favorite. Caught 6 large mouth bass & 9 bluegill

Beautiful place for a walk

Beautiful and peaceful

Nice quiet natural lake, easy access, great for kayaking.

Small but nice and close to Highway 131.

A great place for a medium length hike with your dog.

Large hunting areas and a good lake for fishing and boating.

Boated on Sugarloaf and Little Sugarloaf lakes nice natural surrounding.

Awful area for hunting

Gotta catch em all

Perfect day.

I thank if I was there they would it

Fun and beautiful to walk though.

Too many brush piles. Too many idiot deer hunters that dont know the law.

Did some mushroom hunting

Love the wildlife
