What's great about the Great Lakes State?
Downstream: If you care about Michigan's water
Thank you Supreme Court for preserving the Michigan Immense Public Park.
This is a photo from the Lake Michigan shoreline on Pyramid Point. While this beach is part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, all the Great Lakes shoreline in Michigan is freely accessible. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy walking to any beach access and then being able to hike for miles upon miles in either direction.
Here a thread talking about what other folks love about Michigan.

Wonderful Picture! I'd like to invite you to add your picture to the “Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore” Pool.

This Picture would be a wonderful addition and you’re welcome to add other pics from the lakeshore.
Cheers!

Dear Friends,
I work with an organization called Save the Wild UP that is trying to raise awareness about a risky process called metallic sulfide mining (MSM). MSM has polluted 40% of the watersheds in the west and is poised to enter Michigan, a stone's throw from Lake Superior. If you've ever seen photos of what this form of mining has done elsewhere, it can break your heart thinking about what it could do in Michigan.
The wonderfully talented Daisy May Erlewine has given us a powerful song called A Letter from Downstream to help us raise awareness (and money) about this threat to Michigan's water.
We've created a group called "Downstream", and if this is something that you want to help with, I'm asking you to add just one photo that shows why Michigan can't afford to risk our the health of our water. We'll be displaying a slideshow of photos from this pool along with her song at savethewildup.org.

Thanks so much,

That's what I love about Michigan's shoreline, all that sand beach. There are only a handful of dune sites on the Wisconsin side. I grew up a mile from one.
