The Porcupine Mountains State Park in Ontonagon County Michigan
is one of our finest all season destinations. The park was created
in 1945 to preserve and protect the last large stand of uncut
hardwood hemlock remaining in the Midwest. The Porcupine
Mountains were the site of copper mining in the 19th century. They
are also the location of a large stand of old growth forest, and
home to many black bears. The area is popular among tourists,
especially the Lake
of the Clouds in the heart of the mountains.
The park offers opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the
area in all four seasons. There is the Lake of the Clouds of
course, and Michigan hiking trails to delight campers of all skill
levels.
There are improved camping areas, rustic camping, cabins, music
festivals and great winter activities. Black bear
are frequently encountered in the park. When camping, hang all food
and valuable items on a rope between two trees at least 25-30' above
the ground and at least 100 feet away from your camp. DO NOT FEED
THE BEARS ANYWHERE IN THE PARK. |
