Pioneer Picnic Park
A pioneer association was formed in 1915 at Round Lake, also known as Lark’s Lake, to preserve the natural beauty of these grounds for posterity and as a memorial to the settlers of northern Emmet County. Annual picnics honoring the pioneers were held until 1932, with programs that featured singing, recollections of early days, speeches, and contests. The association deeded the park to Emmet County in 1950.
