Taquamenon State Park

[out_for_a_rip]

We are going to head to Taquamenon State Park in July, can anyone recommend which part of the park to stay in or any suggestions for things to do? We've done and will repeat Oswald's and Whitefish Point, and are considering the Toonerville Trolley, has anyone ever been?

Thank you in advance!

Did the trolley years ago. It was ok.

Thanks evryone for the suggestions, we have decided to stay at the lower falls campground, but this trip is moving to august/september. We are putting together in its place a trip to Mclain SP and Indian Lake if anyone has any feedback for these that would be appreciated as well.

Thanks again

It's about an hour from Tahquamenon SP to Sault Ste Marie also. The Soo Locks are worth the trip.

I second the suggestion of the pictured rocks boat tour out of Munising.

x2 for the lower falls CG - I mean, the main attraction is right there, the beautiful falls.

I think rivermouth modern might be newest? Haven't stayed there yet.

If you have time and the roads are right, drive up to Deer Park and say hi to Muskallonge State Park. Then drive the Grand Marais Truck Trail to Munising, it goes above the pictured rocks shoreline (can't really see them from the road need a boat), still a very nice forest drive. The road leaving Deer Park is a bit soupy, definitely a trail not a road, 4WD not a bad idea.

Very nice park, on of our favorites just wish it were closer to home. We always stayed at the lower falls campground nearest to the river. Some have very nice river front sites and is walking distance to the lower falls and rapids. There is a lot to do in the park itself if you like to hike trails and depending on water levels of the river you can play in the rapids, check out the upper falls, etc.

Munising is maybe a hour and a half away where there are lots of water falls to search out and the Pictured Rock National Lake shore is there too. Boat tour of Pictured Rocks is a must if you go to Munising. Lots of natural beauty in the U.P.
