Fall is a nice time to relax on the bike trail. The leaves were great and the trail was nice. Relaxing trail worth the drive to get to. Enjoyed the Pine River Chamber of Commerce building, nice clean restrooms, great things to look at.

This place is a hidden gem! My husband, teenage daughter and I stopped to play mini golf on a Saturday night. This is one of the best mini golf courses we've ever done! Every hole is unique and fun and the course is in the shade so it's great on a hot day. We will be back!

Don't miss this one. We camped late August 2020 at the Portsmouth campground with easy access to trails by bike. The trails are beautiful and well groomed with vista views at many points. Even the "easy" ones can be a little rocky/challenging. The next level up is definitely challenging depending on your skill level. There are multiple lakes to choose from with very clear water and sand beaches. We brought kayaks and floated and explored. Ironton town is close with 2 bars and a brewery; grocery store for supplies. Purchase firewood in town; had 4 solid bars of Verizon coverage at all times. Definitely going back.

What an amazing and fun mini golf course! Each hole is challenging, but oh so fun! Especially hold 16 or 17 though I won't tell the secret! Great scenery and water features, plus one hole is in a cave. We will definitely do again!

Newly remodeled and loving it!! There is just something special about being out on the boat, driving up to the dock and enjoying some good grub at Ernies!! The food is good, the service is good and the view is fantastic!! The new menu has some good offerings, but we had a shorter stay this year so we only had one lunch with cheese curds and wings. I would say that both appetizers were quite good. There is an outdoor sand volleyball court, swing set and they offer live music. A stop at Ernies should definitely be on your agenda!!
