Fayette Historic State Park

Last night we overnighted at another state park. The park is located in Snail Shell Harbor. The historic town of Fayette was once one of the upper peninsula's most productive smelting operations.

The park now offers overnight boat slip accommodations, pricing by the foot.

Here you can see all the old pilings from when ships came in to load and unload.

They've been working to restore the buildings and grounds. There've been quite a few improvements since the last time we were here. From the view here you can almost imagine what the small community would have been like.


This is one messy bird. I cut off the top of a kleenex box for him to make a mess in.

As long as he has seed in front of him he doesn't care.
