Top 10 Kid-Friendly Places in Michigan

You could easily pass an entire week in the Porcupine Mountains of Ontonagon County. There are three main landscape features that you will want your children to explore, and each of these features offer a variety of amusements to pass your time:

• Waterfalls
• Hiking Trails
• Beaches

The beaches are created from the shores of Lake Superior. There are twenty-one miles of beach area, and there are activities on shore and offshore to be explored. When you are not sinking your toes into the sand and sunbathing, you can pass the time out in a canoe or kayak. This may not be suitable for smaller children, but it is exciting for older children able to operate a canoe or kayak for themselves.

The hiking trails are suitable for mountain biking or walking. They are spectacular for nature photography and offer miles of beautiful scenery where your family can simply walk and bond together. If you visit in the winter, you can even enjoy skiing on the nature trails!

The waterfalls are located throughout the mountains, and there are hundreds of them to be discovered. As you go through the wilderness trails you will come across their beauty and will find yourself sitting and watching in amazement. If your children have never been up close to waterfalls, they are going to love the Porcupine Mountains.

Fishing is another popular pastime in the Porcupine Mountains. There is a stunning lake where your entire family can pass an afternoon or warm evening laughing, looking at the scenery, and sinking those poles into the water.

There are activities for all members of the family in these mountains. This is a magical place where your children can run wild and explore the natural outdoors. There are adventures to be found year round, so you should pay a visit in every season before your children grow up and leave the house. There is no better testament to the natural beauties found in Michigan.
