We now visited the Whitefish Point Lighthouse and Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum near Paradise in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This is the oldest active lighthouse on Lake Superior and the only museum dedicated to shipwrecks on the Great Lakes. Whitefish Point is known as the Graveyard of Ships as more vessels have been lost here than in any other part of the lake. Hundreds of vessels, including the famed Edmund Fitzgerald, lie on the bottom of the bay and the approaches.
We then setup camp at the Tahquamenon Falls State Park. The campground is located near the lower falls. You must be sure and check out the upper falls as well. The Upper Falls is one the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi. It has a drop of nearly 50 feet and is more than 200 feet across.
You can check out a great shot of the falls at Enright Image Works.
