Up North Blueberry Farm is an impressively well-run and impeccably maintained establishment. Visiting any public space during the current Covid pandemic requires a certain amount of faith, but UNBF has implemented very clear but firm protocols for ensuring our safety, while still making it a welcoming experience. My partner and I spent about 1 1/4 hrs. there last week, and gathered about 15 lbs. of berries. We will definitely be back!

Gaylord is so very lucky to have this treasure in their back yard!! The paths are so beautiful and well marked. They are a doable distance, the steep grade is clearly marked. Even better, the paths are lit for nighttime walking! We snowshoed the paths then went back to walk at night. What a great experience.

We loved the scavenger hunt! The displays were well done and we love the mini golf and go carts. The staff is friendly and helpful. We received a cheerful greeting as soon as we entered.

Nice big park with a lot of nice size lots, but be careful some of the lots are pretty sloped. The bathrooms could definitely use an upgrade they are old in the north loop but they were kept very clean. The dog beach is terrible. Literally even a beach just about 30-40 very steep stairs that go right to the water that is about two feet deep. It is hard to step down into it. The beaches themselves are very nice and spacious. All the lots seem very sandy and rocky and some of the lots have tons of tree roots throughout the whole lot. I would not be happy to get one of those. The staff seemed to do a great job keeping the park clean. The lake is huge and nice and clean.

My husband spent 3 hours in the Pigeon River State Forrest and did NOT see one Elk but here right off of Grandview Blvd by the Elks Lodge you can see many Elk!! They have a very nice parking lot and viewing benches. It is mating season so we were able to see some antler play by the young bucks and hear the bellowing of the huge males looking to mate!! It was just spectacular. It was a light drizzle when we were there but the animals were there and ready to entertain!! I highly recommend this viewing location to see a member of the largest elk population of in Michigan!
