This is an interesting area of Indiana, one you wouldn’t expect to find in the central area of the state. Frances Slocum State Park is near the lake, her story is an interesting one. There is also a small Amish presence there, along with the endless agricultural areas. Mississinewa was also the site of a battle during the War of 1812 and they do re-enactments there every year. It’s a neat place to go fishing or driving.

This is my favorite place in the entire world. The beach is wide, clean, fresh and exposed to open water so there is no grime circulating back towards it. It’s also not a big tourist beach because it is a heck of a drive if you’re coming from Petoskey or Harbor Springs but oh man, it is worth it. A great beach.

Actually, I’m in school right now in Ohio but golly-gee-howdy, Petoskey is such a great place and I look forward to going back one day and living there for good. It’s a great, friendly little town and not to mention it is very beautiful. When you crest 31 and look down upon the bay it’s just stunning, even with the poopy hospital in the way. Wonderful area.
