On our road trip around the Great Lakes from Philly, we made a stop at this incredible spot -- and…read moredon't ask me to pronounce the name! Located inside Palms Book State Park, this natural spring was one of the most unique and beautiful places we visited. The water is crystal clear all the way to the bottom, and you can easily see fish swimming below. You hop onto a self-operated raft that you pull across the water to the middle of the spring, where there's an opening in the center to look straight down. It gives you a perfect view of the vibrant underwater world -- it's honestly mesmerizing. It's a quick stop, but totally worth it. And the best part? It's dog-friendly! Definitely add this to your list if you're exploring the Upper Peninsula.

This is such a unique place. I'm so glad we stopped. We were on a road trip from Mackinaw City to…read moreMilwaukee and wanted to break up the trip a bit so we saw this diversion and decided to check it out. Clear blue water, bubbling sand, never ending springs, a tow boat, and lots of trout are the wonders to see. Everyone gets on the boat and someone (well a few people over the course of the trip) step up to the wheel to tow the boat across the water. The water is mesmerizing. I couldn't take my eyes off the water. Many people can fit on the boat so the wait is not too long. A day pass is $11. Definitely make this stop if you are in the area.

A Heartwarming Stop at The Cross Village Gift Shop (I believe called Peninsulas now) - A Must-Visit…read moreon the Tunnel of Trees While riding the Tunnel of Trees on a Great Lakes motorcycle trip with a couple of friends, we made a planned stop at The Cross Village Gift Shop to grab a patch and a T-shirt to remember the ride. It was about 9:45 AM when we pulled up--only to find out they didn't open until 11. We were on a tight schedule and couldn't wait around. Just as we were about to leave, the owner came out the back door walking her dog, Chester. She greeted us warmly and explained they weren't open yet, but asked if we'd be in the area later. When we told her we wouldn't be able to return, she did something truly generous--she opened the shop early just for us. This also meant changing Chester's morning routine, where he usually walks to the post office to "get his mail"--which we learned is code for a treat from the mailman. Still, she welcomed us in, let us browse, and made sure we left with what we came for. It was such a simple act of kindness, but it stuck with us. The Cross Village Gift Shop isn't just a place to grab souvenirs--it's a place full of character, warmth, and heart. If you're anywhere near Cross Village or riding the Tunnel of Trees, make it a point to stop by. Support this small business. Meet Chester. You won't forget the experience.

Had the absolute pleasure to visit Peninsulas nestled in charming Cross Village, and I have to say:…read moreit was truly such a great retail experience that I would go out of my way just to visit again. The merchandise is not the usual stuff you find in the local souvenir shops, but curated with local/regional delights from many local businesses and artisans. You will find something amazing to commemorate a trip Up North. Outstanding service is the next thing that really stood out to me during my two visits to the shop. The shopkeepers are kind and inviting, and are the very definition of "Midwest nice." I could've spent an hour chatting with the saleswoman or the gentleman (who was either the owner or related to the owner). The whole shopping experience was so wonderful, I just had to write a review. If you're ever in the area or nearby, Peninsulas should be a destination.
