Named the "Mirror of Heaven" by the early
Indians.
One of the Upper Peninsula's major attractions,
Kitch-iti-Kipi is located 12 miles west of Manistique at
Palms Book State Park. Young and old will enjoy riding the
self-propelled observation raft to view the wonders of The
Big Spring. The spring is 45 feet deep and 200 feet across.
Water temperature remains constant at 45 degrees and is
crystal clear. Visitors will thrill at the view of large
brown trout, strange formations and the sight of 16,000
gallons of water per minute "erupting" from the depths.
In the early morning there is often a beautiful mist lying across
the water and the brown trout will sometimes be rising to the
surface. Nearby is a nice picnic area, there is now camping.
Be sure to check with the locals for lodging and hours of operation.
The raft is free but you do need a State Park sticker. |
