The last major stop on this trip took us east a bit, but still along the shores of Lake Superior. Our destination was the second of three National Park Service-run parks: Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
Much of our pre-trip research told us that the best views of the rocks come from Lake Superior either via kayak or boat. We wouldn't quite be able to pull that off with two young kids and a dog, but we also knew that we'd still be able to take in some different sights and sounds.
The first of those would come from our remote, non-electric campground deep into the park. Little Beaver Lake Campground was nestled far from civilization near the aptly named Little Beaver Lake. There was a small waterway that connected to Beaver Lake. Both of these lakes and the campground itself were just a mile or so from the Pictured Rocks of Lake Superior. And while the lake could be hiked to, it could not be seen from the campground.
No problem.
There's something beautiful about being in such a small campground. We had site 8 of 8 here.
The high humidity and rising temperatures into the upper 80s and low 90s with no ability to catch relief with air conditioning, however?
Problem.
