Visit. Explore. Dream.
We found a beautiful city campground just 10 miles inland a from the Ferry at Scottville Riverside City Park to raise our glasses and make a toast that night to one of the most memorable travel days yet! 
.
Saving the turtles (even of the snapping kind adorned with pretty little algae) thanks in large part to another camper rolling in who just happened to have a baseball glove for scooping, biking around the grounds rewarded us with left-over Memorial Day firewood, saw columbine flowers and an unknown species of a large colorful frog (edit: identified later as a Northern Leopard Frog).
Spent a beautiful day on the Pere Marquette River via a 4 hour double kayak float. So peaceful and relaxing.
The River is designated as a National Wild and Scenic River and is a nationally renowned Blue Ribbon Trout Stream.
