ZZ Top Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 You did a nice landing on the grass strip. Are there any facilities for showers? Did you take a cab back from town? Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cabs either, small town, typically they have bikes you can use, talked the airport manager, and they where put away because they are doing structural repair to the building.

John Vance Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 I camped there in mid-August this year. The main event is the walk through Leelanau State Park to the LM shoreline - it’s absolutely gorgeous. Take the bikes to the park, then walk the trail. Print out a trail map before you go, since cell reception is spotty. There are maybe 10 bikes available, and some aren’t in working condition, but you should be able to find a couple that will work. It would help to have some tools with you to fix them or adjust seats, etc. They’re in the little building there, which is accessible using the standard Michigan code (5321). You may have to push the 3&2 at the same time (don’t remember), which is often the case in MI. There are “upscale” outhouses and potable water is available. The bike ride into town is a bit longish but doable. Take North Shore Drive off of East Woolsey Lake Rd to avoid some of the car traffic - some of it is dirt but it’s worth it. Check restaurant hours before you fly in - again, cell reception. You can camp wherever you like. If you want a little privacy, there’s a stand of trees on the West side of the N-S runway that provides afternoon shade without being too far from the facilities. If not, there’s plenty of room near the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
