Tourist Park Campground Marquette, Michigan
This day we drove to Marquette, home of Northern Michigan U. It was about an hour drive through the trees and along the shoreline. Finding a waterfront site, we got set up quickly to check out the myriad bicycle trails here. The lakeshore in Marquette is a greenbelt having no development along the water. The multi-purpose trail, picnic areas, parks, playground and beaches are splendid.
We rode to Presque Ilse, at the north end of the greenbelt and stopped to explore the park. I walked way out on the breakwater since the winds were calm; others have died out there in bad weather. I stopped where the cement ended and the boulders continued; too easy to slip in bike shoes. I later took a picture of the breakwater to show how long it is.
After riding around the small island, we headed home to a quiet dinner of fettucinne carbonara.
