The former Wabano Council (now a District in the Southwestern Michigan Council) of Boy Scouts of America operated Camp Madron, located on the shores of Madron Lake, for many years as an overnight summer camp for boys. Camp Madron was closed and sold to private developers in the 1980s.
The "new" Camp Madron – a 49-unit private homeowners' association situated on 216 acres (0.87 km2) – opened in 1989.[3]
It is considered a great location for fishing because it contains "monster" fish.[4]
