Schoolhouse Beach

Reviewed By victoriah788 - Cedar Rapids, United States

What a relaxing way to soak up some sun and enjoy a truly beautiful place, Beach is made up of smooth rocks vs sand...great for skipping on the waters surface. Water looked clean and inviting. A couple of neat photo ops here. No pets allowed.

Little Lake Nature Preserve

Reviewed By AndrewFromMadison - Madison, United States

This preserve is accessed from the main road via access lane, so it doesn't have a busy parking lot and people unloading their stuff, most parks on Washington Island. While yo will most likely meet someone else enjoying the preserve, it's not very busy, and while I was there I mostly enjoyed very quiet and tranquil time. Isthmus between Lake Michigan and Little Lake is beautiful.
