This is a spring fed lake that is incredibly clean, clear and cold. There is a glass bottom raft you can go on to see straight down into the lake. Best yet, no charge to go on the raft (except maybe State Park entrance fees). It is so beautiful and peaceful and has never been crowded when I was there.

This is almost 1/2 hour away from Manistique, but probably the closest city to it. It is cool to climb to the top of the lighthouse and admire the view.

This was a mining town in the mid-1800's, but when the company left, so did all the people, but many buildings remain today. Some buildings are remodeled to show what life was like, some are in their natural condition. The bay it is on is also beautiful.

krazy76 Says: Price varies with the season, as do all hotels in the area. Free casino coupons to adults. Owners are great folks. Clean rooms, clean bathrooms, reasonably priced and not stuffy. Overlooks US-2 and Lake Michigan

My favorite restaurant is the Elk's club. Friday night's fish fry is great but you can also order off the menu, yummy steaks, shrimp, and sometimes the hot bar. Atmosphere is everything. Friendly folks! And the karaoke is a blast!
Favorite Dish: My favorite? hmmmmmm Probably the steak, it was cooked to perfection.

Stay away from the downtown area. The Nazi's rulle the night in this small UP town. My wife and I were accosted by a gang of thugs wherein I was sexually assaulted with a boat oar and my wife was stripped of her wedding ring. Everywhere we turned no one would help us and seemed to want to do us more harm then good. The daytime atmosphere was spetacular, with the local traditions being a true pleasure to watch, but the crime enforcement is horrendous. We were hung up on by the 911 dispatcher and told to go back to where we came from by shop owners. Not your typical UP experiance, but overall it was a positve trip to this miserable area of the pennisula

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Even when it gets hot in the rest of the U.P., Manistique is usually fairly cool. Take a jacket no matter how warm you think it is. But don't forget your swim suit and sand toys!
Miscellaneous: Be sure to pack your walking shoes. There is a boardwalk along Lake Michigan that is a couple miles long. Beautiful!

Favorite thing: If you are in town on a Friday night, you MUST go to the Elk's fish fry. The food is fabulous and karaoke starts at 6 p.m. so you can enjoy the entertainment while you eat (or join in!)

Manistique is my favorite place to stay when I am working in the Upper Peninsula. I am there once a month and sometimes more when I take the kids for special events or to laze on the beach. The people...
