I've ridden by this park many time.  Looks like a pretty nice park, but I had no reason to stop.  Sits right on the bay.

I camped from my bike here in 2006.  It's a nice park with a great lake.  I've camped here with my family several times.

I've never been to this park. However, since 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 in the next year or so.

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.

Seems like old ghost towns are being restored everywhere you look these days, but you have to make road trip to Fayette. See my road trips page for more information.

This is an interesting old fort with some history.  It would be a shame to drive all the way up here and not visit this campground.

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, but it's way too crowded these days for me.  For more quiet choose the "north" park up the road.

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.

Not really a park or a campground, it's referred to as a Scenic Site.  A well know waterfall sits at the end of a short hike through the woods.  I was here once, but there a lot better waterfalls to see in the U.P.

Never been to this park, but maybe yet this year.  My guess, but like the Porkies, I'll bet you can catch one heck of a sunset from here.

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, but the ride up H-37 from Newberry is a good one.

I haven't met anyone who's been to the Big Spring here that wasn't glad they came.  It's as eerie as it can get looking down into the ice cold spring waters watching massive trout swim past the raft.

I've hike, backpacked and photographed the Porkies over the last few years.  It's waterfalls are some of the best you'll find anywhere.  If you camp, choose the Presque Isle Campground at the south end of the park.

I've never been to this park.

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.

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 camping, this would have made a great stop.

Never been to this park

If you like waterfalls as much as I do, then this is a nice stop with a short hike to the falls.

This park is a nice pull over for those headed into the U.P. from Wisconsin.  I like to just find a shady area to walk around an work out the aches.  It has a nice beach and facilities.
