Lake Hudson , it's in Michigan (just above the Ohio boarder ).
If you are familiar with the Michigan International Speedway (nascar races this Saturday ) than you are so close to the lake you could almost spit into it from the stands (fishermans lie , the lake is just a couple miles from the speedway ).
Lake hudson is a Mi.D.N.R. muskey egg and semen collecting lake , plenty of muskey in the lake but I do belive there are some restrictions on muskey fishing there.
There is a D.N.R. office at the lake for more info and there is also a campground with a beach area for swimming .
I forget what the daily fee is for using the park/lake but i'm pretty sure it's under $10.00 , I don't know what the camping fee is or other info about using the campground area .
It looks small on a map but the lake is pretty big .

the article also said that the farther south you go the less natural reproduction happens..something about watter temp..northern michigan has much better reprodoction numbers then southern michigan..you get the idea there a colder watter fish..
