If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of tips. Located 18 miles away, Alpena Township is worth jumping in the car for. Among your first stops here should be Mich-E-Ke-Wis Park, Northern Lights Arena and Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Rogers City, 50 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Ocqueoc Falls. (But we’d also highly recommend P.H. Hoeft State Park and Rogers City Marina.)
