McCollum Lake is located in northern Michigan, approx. 25 km northeast of Mio. This area is the darkest in the lower
Michigan peninsula and thus an ideal location for astrophotography, despite a few
(rather unobtrusive) lights from buildings around the lake. Next to the lake there is a state forest campground.
