 Snowmobiling |
||
| There are snowmobiling opportunities aplenty in Schoolcraft county with hundreds of miles of groomed trails leading off in every direction regardless of where you start. The snowmobile trail system from Manistique to Munising is one of the best in the state. One the reasons a trail is good for sledding is how it is groomed and the organization that handles it and Schoolcraft County has one of the best. We started our tour in the garage where the maintenance and storage of the groomer is done. » Snowmobiling [Manistique Tourism Council] » Schoolcraft County Snowmobile Association » Jack Pine Lodge |

 Kitch-iti-kipi (The Big Spring) at Palms Book State Park |
||
| Palms Book is a rewarding side trip for the vacationer touring the Upper Peninsula, for here can be seen one of Michigan's alluring natural attractions -- Kitch-iti-kipi, The Big Spring. Two hundred feet across, the 40-foot deep Kitch-iti-kipi is Michigan's largest freshwater spring. Over 10,000 gallons a minute gush from fissures in the underlying limestone. The flow continues throughout the year at a constant 45 degree Fahrenheit. By means of a self-operated observation raft, visitors are guided to vantage points overlooking fascinating underwater features and fantasies. Ancient tree trunks, lime-encrusted branches and fat trout appear suspended in nothingness as they slip through crystal waters far below. Clouds of sand kept in constant motion by gushing waters create ever-changing shapes and forms, a challenge to the imagination of young and old alike. » Palms Book State Park [Michigan DNR] |

 Ice Fishing at Gulliver Lake |
||
| Ice fishing is really a personal sport and a hard one to understand if you have never done it. If sitting in 20 below temperatures watching a hole in the ice for something to pull your bobber down sounds pretty miserable to most people, but not the avid ice fisherman. Our guides to some frozen stiff fishing would be Winch and Connie Dillard. Connie is the Manistique Chamber of Commerce Director and decided the best place to go would be Gulliver Lake right in the little town of Gulliver. » Fishing [Manistique Tourism Council] |
