My son and I have really enjoyed our camping adventures on North Manitou Island! Making time for just a few days together has been great! My mother instilled her love of the outdoors and nature in us both as we hiked the Northwest where she lived for many years. This area is every bit as beautiful!

On my last backpack trip to North Manitou in late June the lilacs and flowering trees were still blooming with butterflies everywhere. It is such a beautiful place….really God's country!

A beautiful wetland on North Manitou (a great place for lunch!) and Manitou Lake (where the fishing is great…so they tell me).
