I've love Elk Rapids for a long time and I never knew this place existed. I happened upon it due to an article on Antrim Awesome. It took GPS to find the place because it is barely marked.

There is one spot on the beach that is an ever evolving "living" art piece that you can participate in if you so choose. It was neat to be able to add to it and will be cool to come back and see...
