Thanks for another great camping season! Just a reminder that as of today the water and electricity have been shut off in all Emmet County campgrounds. The parks are still open to enjoy those nice fall days ahead for hiking, picnicing, or letting the kids enjoy the playgrounds. We hope to see you back next season.

A HUGE thank-you to Williams & Company for helping us do some much needed landscaping this morning. This group of hard working volunteers wrapped this job up within a couple hours!
Another thank-you goes to the Emmet County Nature Center Foundation for providing the landscaping materials.
