After camping for a week in the largest, most urban, campground of our trip, we have made our way to the north eastern tip of the mitten to perhaps one of our quietest state parks of the summer. Onaway State Park doesn’t seem to be on anyone’s radar, but what an incredible place to regroup after the hectic pace of Traverse City.
We traveled in this direction in order to camp near Lake Huron. One of our goals on this trip has been to visit and take a dip in all five of the Great Lakes. Even though Lake Huron isn’t the largest of the lakes, it does have the longest shoreline. We have taken advantage of numerous trails along the limestone cobble shoreline admiring lighthouses and looking for petosky stones. (Petosky stones are fossilized coral pebbles that happen to be Michigan’s state stone).
We also took a side trip to see Ocqueoc Falls. It’s the Lower Peninsulas largest waterfall. It’s rare these days to find an area, especially in the summer, that has this kind of natural beauty with absolutely no crowds.
Hey guys this is AJ and Michelle. So nice meeting you last evening at the campground. We are wandering our way home today and I went online and read your Latest blog. We look forward to reading your other ones. We will stay in touch
