A easy path runs to the east of the falls from the power plant up the river to the area the fall cross under the highway. A nice hike and some great views during color season.

My boyfriend and I were driving on our way down from Houghton, Michigan when we passed by Pete's Petting Zoo and I insisted we make a stop - due to my love for animals and zoos. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of animals they had! All the enclosures for the animals looked big enough and we found some very exotic animals there such as llamas, emus and pygmy goats. We were also pleasantly surprised with the fact that the petting zoo is basically free. They accept donations in little boxes around the enclosure. What made it personal was this one nice woman who took care of the animals and talked to us about the llamas and you can tell she really cared for them. This petting zoo might not be the newest or most well kept, but you can tell the animals really are loved and cared for.

Even though we are not overly religious this was a nice, serene place to stop. Make sure you try the homemade ice cream made by the good nun that oversees the memorial.

I loved my stay at Baraga State Park. The park is clean and well maintained and is in close proximity to two small towns for food and supplies. There are a number of really beautiful attractions in that area of Michigan. Canyon Falls is gorgeous and only 10 minutes away. If you go the last week of July, take Christmas decorations. They celebrate Christmas in July there and it is very festive. I would recommend that you select a campsite toward the back of the campground. It is located right on Highway 41 and traffic noise can be considerable - especially in a tent right next to the road, as I was.

Alberta was a model sawmill town designed by Henry Ford.
Reviewed By Kinkuu
Alberta has lots to offer, stories of Henry Ford's saw mill, you can tour it and learn so much you never knew about the man and his inventions. The grounds offer hiking trails and the lake has great big trout. I saw a bull moose cross the road right by the museum a few years back,
