Triathletes throughout Michigan have long considered the Island Lake State Recreation Area, home of the Island Lake Triathlon, an epic training destination, ideal for any athlete preparing for or participating in a multisport event. Set within a 4,000-acre park in Livingston County that offers an "up north" experience without leaving southeast Michigan, the terrain is a mixture of open brush land to mature hardwood forest, with some pockets of open meadows mixed in with a paved road of rolling hills weaving throughout.
