A favorite to do in the area, this sculpture park is a unique stop for those traveling to or from the Marquette/Munising area. They do change out the sculptures so make sure you check this fun stop out if visiting annually. Donation is asked but not required.

The William Bonifas Fine Arts Center in downtown Escanaba claims the title “home to all the arts” for the Central Upper Peninsula region. Each year the Alice Uren Powers galleries in the Bonifas Arts Center host a series of local and regional art exhibitions along with traveling exhibits on loan from institutions like the Smithsonian or Detroit Institute of Arts. The center focuses most of its efforts on art created by artists of the area. An Upper Peninsula regional competitive exhibit each fall titled Northern Exposure showcases the best of the U.P.; a Bay Area Art Association show in the spring features work in all media; and special theme exhibits are featured in the summer, such as “Companions and Choices,” a quilt exhibit or “Re-Visioning Nostalgia: the Agrarian Roots of Contemporary Life.”

This is shop inside a gas station, not the most promising of locations. It has, though, wonderful smoked fish. (A friend who really knows smoked fish said it was the best she'd ever had.) It also has jerky (which we didn't try) and other items. Among the many items in the shop are bags with a variety of trenary toast flavors. I loaded up on the cardamom flavored, and wish I'd picked up more! (If you haven't tried it--trenary toast is a twice-baked bread imported by the Finns who settled in the U.P. It's a local specialty, and wonderful!) Unfortunately, unless the store has changed policies recently, it ships only the jerky, not the smoked fish. The shop/gas station is on highway 2 (the road that skirts Lake Michigan), roughly halfway between St. Ignace and Naubinway. Going west, you will pass Little Brevoort Lake on the right. Approx.2 miles further, watch for Wildwood Lane going off to the left. The gas station will be the next thing you see on the south (left) side of the highway. If you come to Ozark Road on the right, you've gone too far. There is a largish sign for the store.
