Above, a wintry scene is shown from the Mirror Lake Cabin at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in this photo by Dave Braithwaite.
Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park is made up of 60,000 acres of massive trees, rolling mountains, fabled shores and everlasting memories.
Also known as “the Porkies,” this western Upper Peninsula destination prides itself on the ideals of true natural, wilderness beauty and keeping Michigan’s largest state park as wild as possible.
Though a good deal of this place is a primitive area, evidence of human activity is not absent.
In fact, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources has tucked 23 rustic backcountry cabins or yurts into this stunning landscape, which are nestled into some truly beautiful spaces.
