I've been going to Michigan for 51 years, and until this past July 5th, have NEVER been on the Pictured Rocks Boat Cruise to see the shoreline. I've told people over and over who have asked that it's a great tour, but I always said "I've heard it's beautiful"! Well, it truly is...stunning might be a better word. If you're considering it, DO IT!! Well worth the money spent. So glad now I can actually speak about it because I've done it!!
I've mentioned it before, I know, but it needs to be reiterated. You HAVE to visit some waterfalls while you're up at the Resort! Many of these are within miles of us. You can pick a few or a lot to see in one day, and they definitely won't disappoint! Here's a link/map to give you an idea how close we are to them (we are located on the Schoolcraft/Delta County Line). Alger County has the most, which is up towards Munising and around that area, just to give you an idea of the proximity of a lot of these. And as far as that goes, Marquette County has some beautiful falls as well if you want to venture a little further. If you do visit some of these, be sure to come back and post your thoughts/photos in the forum for other Resort guests!

If not, this would make a great day trip while in the U.P. Check out these links to see what the State Park has to offer!

The weather has been fantastic, just warm enough but not too warm. The bugs haven't been bad at all (keep your fingers crossed!). Temps have been in the high 70's and low 80's. On my trip into town today, I saw a deer, a pair of sandhill cranes, a turkey, and a black bear. If I would have had my iPad, the bear sat still enough that I could have taken a picture....I couldn't believe it!
It just happened to be a beautiful night last night to be on the water. Our grandson was out in the kayak, and a dear friend of ours was learning how to fly fish! Remember, if there is a group of you, Midway and Forest Glen rent canoes and kayaks. The Indian River is without a doubt a favorite for that! Maybe you just want to sit in the lawn chair at your c…
Sightseeing opportunities, day trips, you name it!
