It is located in the Huron-Manistee National Forest along the River Road Scenic Byway at Foote Pond. Foote Pond is a 1024 acre lake which was formed after the construction of Foote Dam in 1916 on the famous AuSable River. The park remains open all year. It runs fully staffed for the summer tourist season, and thereafter with a limited staff for outdoorsmen. The AuSable River provides excellent bass, walleye, pike and perch fishing.
Pan fish are plentiful and can be caught anytime along the shores of the campground.
Steelhead, Atlantic salmon, coho and Chinook salmon are abundant in their spawning runs below Foote Dam downstream from the campground. Thousands of oak, evergreen, birch and poplar trees provide excellent feed and cover for deer, squirrel, rabbit, partridge and other game and the sheltered waters of Foote Dam Pond provide some of the best duck hunting in the area.
