Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan's Upper Peninsula would have to be my favorite park I think. I also love Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore as a great place to go for a vacation.

and lastly While I have yet to go I grew up hearing stories of my mom, my 5 uncles, and grandparents going on hiking trips to Isle Royale which is a breathtaking island and I am so proud as someone living in Michigan of all the work they have done to save the wolf population on the island.
