“Beautiful view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012 NEW

“A Wonderful View of Michigan History”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

This spot near the Au Sable River is a tribute to the bygone age of the lumberman. Michigan was one of the primary states that was called upon to provide the timber and lumber for rebuilding Chicago after its fire, as well as Michigan's own trade in crates, firniture, vaneer and so forth. The part contains various tools, photos, and... More

If you have kids with you, go on the trail(about a half mile walk) and there will be a deck overlooking the Au Sable River,... More
