Just 20 miles east of Lake Michigan, Whiskey Creek Resort is nestled
among a mixture of hardwood forests and rolling meadows. Fishing
and canoeing can be enjoyed on the main Pere Marquette River and
its South Branch nearby. Featured at this 1,000 acre resort are
one-third acre, tree-covered sites and a 17,000 sq. ft. lodge building,
complete with a full menu, seasonal restaurant with banquet room.
The resort is accessible by over 2 1/2 miles of two-lane, tree-lined
gravel roads whose conditions vary with the weather.
A variety of outdoor recreation can be found in the Manistee National
Forest, whose 22,000 acres surround Whiskey Creek Resort. Whether
it is morel mushroom hunting in the spring, canoeing on the Pere
Marquette River or swimming in Lake Michigan in the summer, or cross-country
skiing in the winter, there is something for everyone. If solitude
is what you want, make your way to the Nordhouse Dunes, spread across
a mile of undeveloped Lake Michigan shoreline in the Manistee National
Forest. Wildflower lovers will enjoy the Loda Lake Wildflower Sanctuary
with a 1-mile trail that takes you through a marsh, forest, and
orchard. Overlooking the harbor at nearby Ludington on the shores
of Lake Michigan is a huge illuminated cross where Pere Jacques
Marquette is thought to have died in 1675.
Also featured at Ludington is White Pine Village: twenty reconstructed
19th-century buildings overlooking Lake Michigan. The community
consists of a blacksmith shop, chapel, courthouse, fire hall, hardware
store, and a schoolhouse. Logging and maritime museums are also
a part of the group.
A drive northward on Hwy. 31 will bring you to the town of Manistee,
called “spirit of the woods” by the Chippewa. French and
English fur traders lived in the area as early as the late 1700’s.
Many ornate Victorian mansions and relics of the logging era can
still be seen on its streets.
