I've ridden by this park
many times. Looks like a pretty nice park. Sits right on the bay. |

I camped from my bike
here in 2006. It's a nice park with a great crystal clear lake. |

I've never been to this park. However, since it happens to be on a
road that I want to ride between the Sault Ste. Marie and Whitefish
Point, I suspect I'll be stopping by this summer. Let you know
what I find. |

I hear this is as rustic
a park you're find in the Michigan park system. I don't even
know if you can get a motorcycle into the park for lack of a paved
road. I'll have to give it a try one of these days. |

Fayette Historic State

Seems like old ghost
towns are being restored everywhere you look these days, but I really
recommend you make the ride to Fayette. The road was repaved in 2008
and makes for a nice ride. The park is well worth your time. |

This is an interesting
old fort with some history. It would be a shame to ride all the
way up to Copper Harbor and not visit this park. |

I grew up not far from
this campground and spent a lot of my childhood here. It's a
nice campground on a great swimming and fishing lake. It's much to
crowed for me these days. For more quiet place to camp, choose the "north"
park up the road. |

Lake Gogebic State
Park

Marenisco, Ml 49947
(906) 842-3341

I've only been to this
park once and that was a quick ride through on the way to somewhere
else. Seems like a nice campground and I have friends who like
fishing the lake, which is the largest inland lake in the U.P. |
Laughing Whitefish Falls Site
N7670 Hwy. M-35
Sundell, MI
(906) 341-2355 |
Not really a park or a
campground, it's referred to as a Scenic Site. A well known
waterfall that sits at the end of a short hike through the woods. It
an interesting waterfall, but somewhat hard to find. |
F. J. McLain State Park
Rt. 1, Box 82, M-203
Hancock, Ml 49930
(906) 482-0278
|
I visited this park for
the first time on 2008. I went there to see the lighthouse.
Seems like a nice campground and I was surprised there weren't more
people there. |
Muskallonge Lake State Park
Rt.1, Box 245
Newberry, MI 49868
(906) 658-3338
|
I visited this park a
couple years ago. It may be the most remote Lake Superior
Campground in Upper Michigan. Don't take the road from Grand Marais,
Its part paved, part gravel and not in very good shape. Better
to ride
up H-37 from Newberry. |

I haven't met anyone
who's been to the Big Spring that wasn't glad they went.
It's as eerie as it can get looking down into the ice cold spring
waters. Was a time you could watch massive trout swim under the raft,
but someone mentioned that they were gone. Hope not. |
Porcupine Mountains State Park
412 South Boundary Rd.
Ontonagon, MI 49953
(906) 885-5275
Recommend |
I've hiked, backpacked
and photographed the Porkies over the years. It's
waterfalls are some of the best you'll find anywhere in the Midwest. If you
camp, choose the Presque Isle Campground at the south end of the park.
Rustic yes, but its the best park in the Porkies. |

Tahquamenon Falls State Park

Paradise, Ml 49768

Recommend

I discuss this park in
my Road Trip to Whitefish Point. The falls are the largest in
the Midwest and you don't want to ride by this one. Besides they
have a micro-brewery right in the parking lot of the largest set of
falls. Can't beat that. |
Twin Lakes State Park

This is really a nice
campground. It sits on the shore of sand bottom lake and has all
the things you would want in a state campground. If I were
bike camping, this would have made a great stop. |

If you like waterfalls
as much as I do, then this is a nice stop with a short hike to the
falls. No camping here. |
J.W. Wells State Park
N7670 Hwy. M-35
Cedar River, MI 49813 |
This park is a nice pull
over for those headed into the U.P. from Wisconsin on Highway M-35.
Great place to give the backside a rest. It
has a nice beach and facilities. Keep in mind that this stretch
of road has many places to pull off the road and access the beach
where it doesn't cost you anything. |
