Enjoy a tasting of their local wines ranging from a late harvest riesling to merlot where you are sure to find something that wet your pallet. Not only is Schoolcraft County on the shores of Lake Michigan, but it also has the largest spring in Michigan. Big Spring is 40 ft. deep and 200 ft. across where you can float over it in a raft to be able to view what lies below. With this county being on Lake Michigan which carries some larger vessels, there are historic lighthouses. Enjoy a tour of the Seul Choix Point Lighthouse that would light the way for iron ore ships.
