1. Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park
The largest state park in Michigan includes 58,335 acres of land located on the west end of the Upper Peninsula. Located on the shores of Lake Superior, this park offers old-growth forest, cliff-top scenic vistas, waterfalls, and backcountry or modern campsites. Rustic cabins are available year round. There are more than 90 miles of hiking trails, 26 miles of cross-country ski trails, and 15 ski runs along a 641-foot vertical drop. The park also contains four lakes, including the famous Lake of the Clouds scenic overlook. For educational and historical purposes, the visitor center is not to be missed. Take M-107 three miles west of Silver City.
2. Ludington State Park
Six miles of Lake Michigan beach shoreline borders the park on the west for use by both day-trippers and campers alike. Hamlin Lake, the largest man-made lake in the Lower Peninsula, gives campers five more miles of shoreline access for recreation. Hamlin Lake also provides a very unique canoe trail through pristine wetland and island areas where wildlife and waterfowl are in abundance. In addition, there are 16 miles of mapped and marked hiking trails threaded through sand dunes and forests. The Great Lakes Visitor Center provides both day and evening interpretive programs if visitors are in the mood to learn more about the ecology and history of the area. To see a piece of history yourself, take the trail that leads to the coastal lighthouse. Ludington State Park is open year round and semi-modern camping is available through the winter, offering electric hookups and rustic toilets. Winter activities include cross-country skiing with several miles of groomed trails and a warming shelter. From Ludington, take Lakeshore Drive north eight miles. Lakeshore Drive becomes M-116.

Ludington State Park also offers a snowshoeing class as well during the winter. A few times a season they offer a course in making snowshoes and you make your own set of VERY nice traditional snowshoes, then go for a guided tour of the park on the snowshoes you made. Been thinking of doing one of those courses for a few years and think next winter I am going to take one. I have a couple of sets of snowshoes and would like to learn the proper way of reworking them.
