Porcupine Mountains State Park has a lot - waterfalls, trails, rivers, small mountain scenery and more, but I never hear anything about the 23 miles of beautiful Lake Superior shoreline that is has. To me, that's the best feature of the park.

The forests that rebuilt Chicago after the fire of 1871. Same year fires ravaged Michigan towns as well but lesser known to history. The logging boom had dwindled by then but these forests rebuilt Chicago and towns of Michigan up to Wisconsin.
