The most wild thing about the great lakes for me, is that there's enormous islands in the middle which you can visit. Beaver Island has an entire year-round community. Farms, wineries, a small airport. It was featured on some survival show I caught late at night once. The Manitou islands used to be inhabited. They have found arrowheads on the island 7000 years old. They went through a logging colony, to a farming colony, to them mostly just a collection of summer cottages, before the state finally bought them and made them a wild camping nature preserve. 5 miles offshore, and within sight of other massive islands which have their own wild histories. Lastly - South Manitou island has a shipwreck from the 60's along its shore you can still explore and dive. Mackinac island is another year-round community. No cars are allowed, and the historical forts from the 1800's have been all preserved. It's the only place I've visited which has a real, "Pirates of the Caribbean" feel to it. Put-in-Bay, where fishermen go to party. There's a lot of these places! |
