Scientifically this area shows a geological record of forest development and destruction through thousands of years of glacial advances and retreats.
This area is 25 acres more or less of old field and a few scrub trees. You find it on State Highway 42, a few miles north of Two Rivers. You can enter it via the parking lot on the east side just south of the junction with County Highway BB. It is a short walk to the east side of the field. There you will stand next to a precipice bluff/cliff. If you suffer from vertigo be careful as it's a long way down. The view of Lake Mishigami (Michigan) is breathtaking as you scan from north to east to south.
Even with the lake so high there is a thin beach down there. Although climbing down the bluff is not for the unfit and timid. But if you really, really want to see the layers of forest come and gone you need to see the bluffs; and that means getting down there'
Other than this, the old field is a nice place to meander, walk your dog or find a spot to lay out your picnic blanket. Keep in mind there is almost always wind.
If you are a geologist or a paleobotanist this place could supply fodder for a Masters' thesis. For the rest of us it's a windswept field with dangerous bluffs on one side.
Still, if you appreciate gorgeous views of a beautiful lake, it would behoove you to take the short drive north of "Trivers" and check this area out. Climb down, if you have the cojones. read more
