Kitch-iti-kipi
Have you been to see the Big Spring? Located in Palms Book State Park (about 15 miles or so from the Resort) is Kitch-iti-kipi, Michigan's largest spring and named "Mirror of Heaven" by early Indians. Big Spring is emerald green in color, 200 feet across and 40 feet deep, maintaining a constant 45 degree temperature all year round so it never freezes. There are beautiful trout that swim near the bottom where the 10,000 gallons a minute gush through the limestone. You'll be able to take a raft from the shoreline via cable out to the middle and look through the viewing windows to see below. They have a picnic area, modern toilet facilities, gift shop, ice cream and beverages. If you haven't seen the Spring, get it on your list of "to-do's" while you're visiting the U.P.!
