Owasippe Scout Reservation, Scout reservation in Twin Lake, Michigan
The reservation spans 4,800 acres adjacent to Manistee National Forest, featuring Lake Wolverine, Big Blue Lake, and 75 miles of wilderness trails.
Established in 1911 as Camp White with 40 acres on Crystal Lake, Owasippe grew to become the oldest continuously operating Scout camp in the United States.
Native American heritage remains present through discovered artifacts, including canoes, arrowheads, and pottery found near Silver Creek and surrounding areas.
The reservation includes Camp Blackhawk, Camp Wolverine, and Camp Reneker, providing facilities for Scouts BSA, Cub Scouts, and family camping throughout the year.
The land preserves numerous ancient burial mounds and archaeological sites, connecting modern scouting activities with centuries of Native American history.
