The little community of Paradise is just north of the mouth of the Tahquamenon River and east of Tahquamenon Falls on MI-123. We go through Paradise to get to anywhere up here and is the location for any of the services in the area. One gas station, two mini grocery stores, two restaurants, several lodgings, a public library, and a school with ten students! We did a little more exploring around the area today. Geocache searches lead us along a cross country ski path and to the former site of a cabin overlooking Cabin Lake.
And we visited Camp 33. It’s a commercial area not technically a part of the state park but intrinsically tied to the history of the park. The park is on land donated by logging baron Jack Baron. Today the establishment is run by his grandchildren. We enjoyed a couple of tasty meals and some Black Bear Stout at the Tahquamenon Falls Brewery and Pub. Back in Paradise stopped by the gas station for some dark chocolate and to top off the tank before we set off for further U.P. adventures tomorrow. We finished up the daylight hours with a hike along the river at sunset.
