Tahquamenon Falls (rhymes with phenomenon) has, as you would imagine, some pretty impressive waterfalls. We hiked the trails around both the Upper and Lower Falls and were impressed with the volume of water as well as the unique color of the water caused by natural tannins that leach into the river from the cedar swamps surrounding the river.
Another fun thing we did in the area was riding our bikes out to Whitefish Point, on Lake Superior, to see our first Michigan lighthouse. We've discovered that our favorite way to sight see in an area is on our bikes.
The biggest city near our campsite was Sault Ste Marie. One day rain was in the forecast so we decided it would be a great place to not only sight see but also resupply and do laundry. The city is among the oldest in America and ended up being so close to Canada that our IPhones thought we were in Canada and alerted us that we would have uninterrupted coverage during our stay there. We loved reading about the history of the town and watching the ships go through the locks. We also went to Lake Superior State University and played a round of disc golf on the course they have on campus. It was a fun filled day
