Thicket's read

Verified read
Some shadeExposedLevelMixed30A electric

Site, spotty shade, wide open to the loop. Flat enough. Fine, nothing special.

Thicket's own read of the facts, the open geodata (USDA NAIP and elevation), and the publicly visible listing. It is an estimate, not a guarantee, and we don't re-host the reservation photo. Check the site number and dates on MiDNR before you book.

The vibe

Hanging a hammock?

Hammocks are fine in Michigan state parks. There's no rule against them. The rule is about the tree: use wide, tree-friendly straps, no nails or wire, and don't tear the bark. The state sets no strap or tree-size requirement, so when in doubt, ask the park. We'll point you at sites that likely have trees worth hanging from, but we can't see the trunks, so eyeball it on arrival.
