Northern Michigan

We live in southeast Michigan, however a popular vacation area is norther Michigan. Many Michiganders go “up north” in the summer time. “Up north” refers to the top half of the mitten and can refer to the Upper Peninsula.
Michigan is surrounded by 4 out of 5 of the Great Lakes. Lake Huron (above) covers the majority of the east side of the state and is great for rock hunting.
Because Michigan is surrounded by great bodies of water its shores have an abundance of lights houses, many of which are decommissioned, like this one on the shore of Lake Huron.
Lake Michigan covers the west side of the state and is the more popular spot for vacationers and beach goers. This lakeshore is also the only place you can find a fossilized coral called a Petoskey stone.
Michigan is relatively flat compared to other parts of the country. However we do have a small mountain range in the Upper Peninsula called the Porcupine mountains. This is Lake of the Clouds, found in the valley of the mountain range.
Most of Michigan's water falls are found in the Upper Peninsula. Like this one, Bond Falls, it is 30.5 meters (100 feet) wide and has a 15 meter (50 foot) drop.
