We have made camping reservations at Michigan's J.W. Wells State Park for August 23rd-26st.
Wells State Park is located on the shores of the Bay of Green Bay in Cedar River, Michigan, about 30 miles south of Escanaba. Its 678 acres include a three-mile shoreline with a beautiful sandy beach for swimming, a large picnic area, a modern campground, and rustic cabins. The park, established in 1925, was donated to the State of Michigan by the children of John Walter Wells, a pioneer lumberman in the area. In addition to owning several lumber companies and sawmills, he served as mayor of Menominee for three terms beginning in 1893. Many of the park's buildings, landscaping, and water and sewage systems were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and 1940s. The park is open year-round, even when the campground is closed, providing opportunities for winter recreation such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing.
