Argyle Lake State Park, known as a fisherman's delight, has a full complement of recreational opportunities. Just 7 miles from Macomb, Argyle Lake offers picnicking, camping, hiking, and boating in a scenic, natural setting.

With its 93-acre lake for boating and fishing, 5 miles of rugged foot trails through timberland and full-service campgrounds, this heavily wooded, 1,700-acre site is the ideal place to enjoy the outdoors.

In addition, Argyle Lake is the site of the Argyle Antique Gas Engine Show, a festive celebration of times past. It's a great way to spend Labor Day weekend. You'll see demonstrations of wheat threshing, hay baling, sawmilling, sorghum making and blacksmithing. You can also watch craftpersons make quilts, whittle, and make rugs. Hundreds of antique tractors, cars and gas engines are on display. For bargain hunters, there is a giant flea market.
