No reservation photo for this one yet, so it's not scored. The facts and live openings still hold.

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.

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.
