Customer Reviews

Good, not great

Great historical and park activity information. I just wish it would have been more specfic ie; which sites are good, maps of park layouts etc. Still good guide.

a good guidebook

I live 2 miles from one of the State parks reviewed - Bald Mountain. I have to say I learned more from this guidebook than I knew from living here and asking the locals. It contains maps and layouts of the parks, and gives lots of good information. If you live in MI or are planning to visit, it's worth it.

This book is a winner.

I take this book on camping trips. This is a list of just some of the things you can find in this book: number of sites, amenities available, size of lakes, fish found there, number of visitors per year, acreage of the park, likely times to be full, address, directions to, phone number, winter activities, description of aesthetics, maps of most parks. Mr. Dufresne's opinions of what beaches are beautiful, or what lakes are good fisheries, etcetera are accurate. The only drawback to this book is that it was published before the new phone reservation system was implemented and does not have that information. This book is great for planning your trip whether you use the reservation system or not.
