Lake Roland is one of the warmest inland lakes in the Upper Peninsula, making it ideal for swimming and water sports.
Boating
The park offers a variety of boating options for visitors. There are two lakes, Roland Lake and West Twin Lake, both offering boat launches for easy access to the water. Motorized boats are allowed on these waters but they must adhere to speed limits set by the state's Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Canoeing is also popular in this area due to its calm waters and scenic views. Boat rentals including paddleboats, rowboats or canoes are available at reasonable rates during summer months.

Bicycling
In the Upper Peninsula, a park offers biking options. Be aware that trails can be challenging due to terrain changes.

The 175-acre site provides various cycling routes for all skill levels but requires careful navigation on some paths.

Mountain bikers should take caution as steep inclines and rocky surfaces are common throughout the trail system here.

Biking around two large lakes is possible; however, safety measures must always be taken near water bodies.

While exploring these scenic landscapes by bike is enjoyable, it's crucial to stay alert of wildlife encounters in this area.

Cyclists need helmets at all times because certain areas have low-hanging branches or sudden dips which could pose risks.

Remember: while there isn't any dedicated cycle rental facility onsite currently - plan accordingly before your visit!
Cross-country Skiing
The Nature Trail provides a winterscape view of Lake Superior on clear days. Trails are not groomed.
Area Attractions
Twin Lakes State Park makes a good base camp for many area attractions. Travel north to Historic Fort Wilkins where the lives of the soldiers and their families during the mining boom of the 1840's are re-enacted. Travel south and see how the first miners lived at the restored mining community at Victoria or enjoy a hike on one of the trails in the Porcupine Mountains. Other area attractions include the copper mines near Hancock and Delaware and the historic and mineralogical museums in the area. There is also a newly created Keweenaw National Historic Park in Calumet.
