Man you are talking some of the loveliest spots in a very beautiful state.. I can tell you that..
Going a bit farther north: Big Lake State park is next door (Meaning they share a line fence) with Cross in the Woods, which is the shrine to the Catholic Churches Native American Saint from Michigan. Crossing the bridge look for a little town called Paradise (you will be glad you made it) and just to the left of that (on the map) is the #2 (in terms of Gallons per minute) Waterfall in the country.. No I won't try to spell it,, Hiawatha's "Swiftly Falling Stream" the lower falls has a campground. Bit of a hike to the falls themselves (from upper falls parking) but well worth it.
Farther north still is a small city park in Gran Maris. Only complaint is the nick-0-lock showers but from there you are a day trip to the OTHER END of the Pictured Rocks national lake shore,,, (you got to take a boat to see those)
