My husband and I drove here to go fishing early morning during labor day weekend. It was nice and quiet. The water was shallow so we only got bluegills. At night there's no lights and you can hear some movement in the woods it can be pretty daunting. All in all, it's a nice place to hang out for a few hours.
This is such a beautiful sanctuary. I could easily lose hours here exploring. There is kayak rental and a launch to depart from, if you enjoy that sort of thing. The sound of traffic was negligible, if noticeable. There were plenty of flowers towards the beginning which gave opportunity to observe some insects.
Nice park to have a walk. A variety of trails to choose from. The bridge leading to the island is really nice. Lots of different trees in the park.
Great walk, all the family loved it had good information about the things in the park.
great "wilderness" city park, with several "mini biomes". several walking routes are on the island the longest is slightly under a mile. One of these paths is paved and handicap accessible; with the remainders being dirt paths sometimes improved with wood chips. These walks are quite, usally shady and always picturesque.
Absolutely beautiful. Covered bridge is so nice. Great trails. So glad we made the trip.
This is a great park in Alpena to visit and walk the trails through the woods. They have educational signs along the way to tell you about all the different trees in the woods. People in this town were very friendly.
Nice easy walk in the woods by some water ☺ kinda cool that it was an island. I would go back
The recreation area is a old quarry and shipping dock. The area now has a boat ramp and numerous walking trails. Because of the past mining activity fossils of all kinds can be found. DNR passport required.
Beautiful beach â± ð Water was super clear (little chilly at first) Beach area was really nice and clean. Plenty of parking, easy to find. Amazing place to make memories ðð¤ð§¡ð
Awesome place! Oldest Miniature Golf course in the state! Someone mentioned that it is closed, that is not the case - it's only open in the summertime. Be sure to also check out The Hungry Hippie located just beside it!
Cozy shop with local merch including upscale tshirts, sweatshirts, magnets, stickers, mugs and decor. I always stop in and purchase something when I'm in the area.
Always enjoyable. Actors and crew put their hearts into the performances. We've been season ticket holders since the 80s . The only downfall is accessibility for handicapped folks.
What a hidden gem in my small town!!! . Absolutely amazing food . The potato soup I'm the bread bowl is literally 11/10. The food is very fresh and the staff is super nice. 10/10 most definitely recommend. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a bite
Our first time in and it was wonderful, the burger was delicious and our waitress was so friendly and helpful! The hoo fries are incredible! 10/10 would recommend for the personal friendly atmosphere!
This store almost never disappoints. They have an excellent meat counter and a really good dips homemade. Their meatloaf mix is to die forâ£ï¸ Even though they're a small IGA, Perch's most times have everything I need. You do have to watch for date
They have a beer for everyone. My wife ended up liking 3 beers and usually she likes one if that. Great Menu with Huge Portions at a great price. The service is impeccable. Lots of space during inclement weather, even more space when itâs nice out.
I donât normally do reviews, but this place deserves praise. I ordered the Golabki burger with the sweet potato waffle fries with a side of zesty sauce, and itâs my favorite dish in town. I called it in, walked in 15 minutes later sat down and it
Although it is rated as being only a Four star Establishment in this review, please be aware that is only because the kitchen was closed when I arrived and has been unable to try the cuisine offered here!¡! Service and Atmosphere both receive Five s
This little coffee shop provided me with a healthy filling quick option which I struggle with as I am Gluten and Lactose free. The food was fresh and the staff was very kind about my diet requests. Chill comfy local vibe.
