Have you been to Kitchitikipi Springs at the Palms Book State Park in Manistique? The water is crystal clear and constantly at the same temperature (45 Degrees Fahrenheit). You can take a raft across the Spring for a great view!
Have you been to Hall Farms in Rock? They have a beautiful sunflower farm that is open to the public and the scenery is worth the drive! If your looking for something new to explore on a beautiful Upper Peninsula weekend, I would recommend checking this place out!
Do you you love to fish? If so, the Escanaba area is the perfect place to buy a house. The fishing on the Bays De Noc is so good, several professional fishing tournaments have been hosted here. The Bays are known for the awesome walleye fishing. Other types of fishing include salmon, bass and whitefish. During the winter, you will see countless ice shanties on the bay as people additionally enjoy ice fishing. Click on the linked words above for more local information about fishing. Also, check out this guide from the DNR.
Are you looking for an adventure that is not too far away from town? About 30 miles south of Escanaba you will find a beautiful Michigan State Park, Wells State Park. This park has a lot to offer. The park has a scenic campground with campsites so close to the lake, waves will lull you to sleep at night. There is an updated playground, rustic cabins and a sandy beach for your enjoyment. Take a walk down the beach or a nature trail to get your daily dose of the outdoors. After you close on your new home, pack up your gear and head out to play.
Are you settled in your new home but it feels a bit empty? Head down to the Delta Animal Shelter and adopt your newest family member. One fun activity the the shelter puts on is Happy Tails Story Time. It is a monthly event for children ages 3-5 and a caregiver to come listen to a story, engage in an activity and meet some of the animals. This event is enjoyable for the adults, children and animals.
Winters in the U.P. are long, so it is important to find activities to participate in to get out of the house. One fun activity is sledding at Ludington Park. On sunny winter days one will find people basking the sunshine overlooking the frozen lake as they enjoy a ride down the hill. This activity has it all: a beautiful view, fresh air and a thrill. Enjoy this winter activity and many more after the purchase of a home here.
