Top Spots in or near Brimley
Lower Tahquamenon Falls
Paradise, Michigan

0.97 mi
/ 59 ft gain
The waterfall is only a short stroll from the parking lot but is well worth the stop. It drops over 50ft and is 200ft wide. A stunning, powerful flow. The obvious 'Rootbeer' color comes from tannic acid produced by decaying hemlocks, cedars, and spruces along the river's banks. There are various view points and a small observation deck above the falls. Don't be shocked if you spot a bear or a f...
Upper and Lower Tahquamenon Falls
Paradise, Michigan

/ 823 ft gain
Upper and Lower Tahquamenon Falls is an out-and-back trail in Tahquamenon Falls State Park located near Newberry, Michigan. This trail starts at the opposite end of the park and is much longer than just going to Lower Tahquamenon Falls (a 1-mile roundtrip hike). Why the extra mileage? So you get to see both waterfalls!
This trail is dog-friendly as long as your pup is well-behaved and on a le...

From the campground, head just a few feet towards the beach on the shores of the straits and you will see the Mackinac Bridge in the distance. Grab your tripod and ge...
Tranquil Bluff Trail on Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island, Michigan
5.0
3.09 mi
/ 180 ft gain
You will need to take a ferry to the island to access this hike, but the fare is cheap and is worth it for a day trip.
This hike starts at the very popular (and thus usually crowded) Arch Rock and takes you halfway across the island to British Landing. Even with the initial crowds, you should be able to capture some great pictures at Arch Rock without people getting in the way. Once you begin ...

Mackinac Island is accessible only by ferry, and there are no cars allowed on the island. While you can rent bikes over there, we opted to bring ours along on the Star Line ferry. Super easy and we had no problems!
Lake Shore Boulevard, or State Highway M-185, wraps around the entire island and is fairly level. If you go on one of the many interior trails or streets there is definitely some hi...
Photograph the Mackinac Bridge
Mackinaw City, Michigan
5.0
The upper peninsula of Michigan is connected to the mainland by the Mackinac Bridge. This bridge is quite impressive from a distance and it makes a great object for photography at any time of the day. If you want to get up close to the bridge, try visiting one of the parks located on the north or south end of the bridge.
The park on the southern/mainland side is called Colonial Michilimackinac...
