This was going to be just a short stopover and then we were on our way to Minnesota and the Mall of America and then we got here and just couldn’t leave. There isn’t much to do but the lake is so inviting, the weather is great and the bugs are behaving themselves! So our two nights became 6 and we found lots of fun stuff to do. Ontonagon is not for shopping, dining or site seeing but if you love the lakes and just wanting to relax for a few days it is a must see.
Paul and I visited Porcupine State Park and took a short hike to see a couple of great waterfalls and another look at the Lake. Paul even waded into the water so now he can say he walked in a Great Lake!

It is so relaxing here that I spent 3 afternoons just sitting on the beach and reading. Ontonagon is so far north and west of the eastern time zone that it isn’t even dark until 10:30 at night which is perfect because we have no TV here! This is a beautiful place in the summer but I am sure things are much different come November thru April unless you snowmobile or ice fish.
