Mullett Township's Government Operated Parks
East Mullett Lake Township Park
AKA-Boy Scout Park
Here is one of northern Michigan’s hidden recreational gems. The Mullett Township Board has been making on-going capital improvements at this recreation area formerly owned by Cheboygan County and known as Boy Scout Park. After the transfer of the property in January 2010, ostensibly to allow Mullett Township to seek and secure grants, the Mullett Township Board has worked tirelessly and their civic pride clearly shows.
Although off the beaten path, it is an easy drive from anywhere on the east side of Mullett Lake. From M33 highway, turn west on Devereaux Lake Rd and proceed about 2 miles. Watch for a sign identifying a DNR Launch Site. Turn right on the county maintained and graveled Jewell Rd and proceed north until the road turns left and becomes Boy Scout Rd. Go past the clearly marked DNR Launch and watch on the right for the inviting gateway entrance to this recreational getaway. From the east side of Mullett Lake, follow East Mullett lake Rd north until you reach Devereaux Lake Rd, then proceed east and watch for the DNR Launch sign at Jewell Rd.

| Gateway Entrance to East Mullett Lake Park |
The gate is always open to all and some of the inviting recreational facilities are visible from the entrance.
 |
| Park Entrance |
In early spring, or after a summer rain, use caution as the two-track drive can be slippery. Please park in the two-track to avoid the need for a tow. The grass remains slippery and muddy and four-wheeling on the grass is frowned upon.

| Parking Area |
The park offers a pavilion with a few picnic tables and a small seasonal dock on Mullett Lake accessed by wooden stairs. There are no facilities for trailer launching a boat and the sign at the pavilion clearly states, "Authorized Vehicles Only". Small watercraft and swimmers can use the dock. There is no beach. Caution is advised as the lake bottom is rocky.There is a well maintained DNR Launch Site clearly marked by signs with a concrete ramp, skid pier, hard surfaced parking area and pit toilet just to the north of this park. The DNR Launch requires a Michigan State Park Recreation Passport.

| Quonset Hut |
The corrugated sheet metal quonset hut remains from the parks former use as a Boy Scout facility. The building apparently has great historical significance and visionary Township Supervisor Bill Morgan stated to the Cheboygan County Board of Commissioners on 2/29/2009 that "if repaired, a quonset hut on the property could serve as a mess hall".
