With Michigan being the size that it is, there are countless underrated gems that you’ve likely never explored or even heard of! We know that’s the case for us, which is why we’re constantly on the hunt for the many hidden treasures that make up the Great Lakes State. There are more than 100 state parks to visit in Michigan, and it might be tough to know where to begin, but this is a wonderful start.

Isle Royale National Park in Michigan is one such hidden gem that we’d like to talk about. Have a look – it’s amazing; easily one of the most beautiful places in Michigan, it’s hard to imagine you’ll ever want to leave.
