Our Bridges to Adventure

Have you been to Isle Royale National Park? How about Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park? We’re always amazed to meet people who are lifelong Michiganders but have been to neither.   

Time to explore what lies on the other side of our adventurous bridges, the Mackinac Bridge to the Upper Peninsula and the Gordie Howe Bridge to Canada.

We have what will inspire you to pay that $4 toll. There’s a feature on one of the most significant changes on Isle Royale National Park in years; animal-resistant food storage lockers at backcountry campgrounds. There are no bears on the Island but there are some pesky foxes and red squirrels.

Back on the mainland Jim DuFresne has contributed a piece on beautiful Lake of the Clouds in the Porcupine Mountains that also happens to be one of the toughest places to catch a bass.

Finally, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources produced a wonderful feature on the new Gordie Howe Bridge and its pedestrian pathway that’s free and open to cyclists, walkers and other non-motorized users. It’s your link to adventures that range from an afternoon ride to a week long backpack in Canada.

We have the stories, the guidebooks and maps in our e-shop and the downloadable digital maps to those great areas on the other side of the bridge.

No excuse not to cross it.
