With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Ossineke, 25 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Mich-e-ke-wis Park, Dinosaur Gardens Prehistorical Zoo and Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. Don’t forget about Alpena Township either! Just 35 miles away, Mich-E-Ke-Wis Park, Northern Lights Arena and Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary are essential stops here.
