Did you know…Pictured Rocks kayaking with Paddling Michigan is less than an hour away from Curtis! You can avoid the crowds in Munising, take the “back way” through Shingleton and arrive at Uncle Ducky’s outpost to get right on the water at Miner’s beach! This is a great day trip and a great way to see Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore!

It’s now the BEST time to visit the UP. Mosquitos are gone, black flies are gone, flowers are still blooming and the water is WARM! But, don’t come to the UP on a weekend in August without making a reservation first! I had many phone calls from desperate people looking for rooms this weekend and there was nothing available from Drummond Island to Munising! Plan ahead and sleep comfortably 😉

Fern painted a fish for the Erickson Center Art on the Lake silent auction fundraiser. I had to keep bidding to buy her fish back…but it looks great on the Inn!
