If you did not hear, I was announced as a Michigan State Park Ambassador for 2021, I am very excited for this journey & hope to continue to share our adventures with fellow Michiganders & beyond. In honor of the announcement, I wanted to release a blog post where you can see our progress exploring our Michigan State Parks List we released to everyone. We will continue to update this until we hit every one!
On this blog you will see a slideshow of photos that will include a photo from each place we have visited in each region (if we have a photo from there). You will see who in the family has been to the State Park by a checkmark in their color:
