One of the most stunning places you will ever visit. From the Shores of Lake Superior, to the hills, to inland Lakes. When I die I want to be buried in these beautiful and ancient hills

Love the Porkies! Make this trip last a day or a week. Tons to explore by trail and water. Bring the Camera, Kayak and Bike. Miles of trails, beaches and streams.

Best state park in Michigan that we have been too! So many things to do and see including all the magnificent waterfalls. Really enjoyed our experience!

Best state park I've ever visited. This place has it all: beautiful old growth forests, wildlife, lakes, waterfalls and well-maintained trails for all levels of experience/ability. It isn't crowded. Each employee I met was very nice and obviously loved their jobs and the park.

LOVED!! Did not disappoint. So much to see and do, so many trails to hike. Stunning views- sunrises and sunsets. I even saw staff/volunteers picking up trash. Restrooms were kept clean throughout the park. I really am impressed with Michigan's DNR! Feeling so proud to call Michigan my home. :) Cannot wait to come back as a yearly thing!
