Piers Gorge, Norway MI

This is our last day in the north western side of the U.P.   So glad we are heading to Piers Gorge in Norway, MI.  This was highly recommended by our friends Tammy and Marc.  We stopped for lunch at “Mikes on Main”.  This is a terrific walk back to 1975.  A great little bowling alley restaurant with the best fried chicken I have ever had.  Yes fried chicken.  I still don’t know what was different it was just great! 

Piers Gorge is just 5 minutes from town on the Menominee River on the Wisconsin boarder.  There are at least 11 miles of trails that are very walkable and give you plenty of opportunity to climb and jump rocks.  This area is overwhelming with the vertical bedrock walls the cedar trees that have been forced to grow horizontally, the uncountable water falls and the shear amount of water that flows over them.   Familys were swimming, fishing and having picnics.  There were no barriers or do not signs anywhere.  This was probably the most natural, wild and beautiful places I have ever seen.  We very easily spent an entire day there.  Highly recommend.












Time to pack up and head to Tiki campground in St Ignace.  Elizabeth, Chris and the girls are coming for the weekend.  Fun will be had by all!!!
