Lake On The Cloud

As this is the largest of Michigan’s state parks, we drove 25 miles from our campsite to the other end of the park and the visitor’s center.  About 7 miles back along Lake Superior’s coast we drove to the view point for Lake on the Cloud on the east side of a large rocky escarpment, nestled in a valley filled with trees.  It was a pretty lake.

We then drove about half way back to the RV and stopped to hike the Summit Trail Loop which took us on Beaver Creek Trail, Carp River Trail, Mirror Lake Trail and then back to the Summit Trail. It was a very pretty and peaceful hike.  We saw lots of chipmunks, a covey of brown grouse and toads.  Unfortunately for one toad, a snake also spotted it and ate it!  We almost stepped on the snake as it was trying to move the toad off the trail.

We have a nice view of the sun setting into Lake Superior each evening and tonights sunset was pretty spectacular!

I have had enough of the buzzing mosquitoes and biting flies so spent the evening inside the RV.  I can only take so much of these annoying pests!!!
