Whenever I go camping I always head to the U.P. and Ottawa National Forest is my favorite area. What's batter then hiking in the forest and camping in a beautiful area.

Drove through this region and around. Very beautiful forest, absolutely loved it and the small but beautiful mountain ranges. Very remote and pretty slice of forested Americana not too different looking than in. New England states like New Hampshire, though a little more flat. The nearby Lake in the Clouds is also an amazing site and are some legit mountains next to Lake Superior and quite a view. The porcupine mountains where they are a legit mountain range and very beautiful.

Overall loved our little weekend trip up here and definitely recommend all the lakes and hiking areas and pretty forest...
