This year is the 50th anniversary of
the opening of the Mackinac Bridge that connects the lightly
populated Upper Peninsula of Michigan to lower Michigan. Traditionally
the bridge has attracted hunters and other woods-loving types
but that list should also include beach-loving dog owners.
Just across the bridge on the Upper Peninsula
head west on Route 2 and eight miles past the town of Brevort
you will come to an unnamed, unsigned stretch of dune-backed,
sandy white beach. Pull off the water-side of the road and park
your car along the road. There are miles of beach and not much
traffic so there will be plenty of room for your dog to romp
in the Lake Michigan waves. If you need facilites, travel a bit
further west to the Lake Michigan Picnic Area.
