Fayette, Michigan - A Ghost Town

This historic town site has a beach, campsite, trails and the town itself as a self-guided museum.  I've been here and camped with 5 teenagers who had a blast.  For more information, see this link for the site dedicated to the town.  If you do visit, be cautious of poison ivy growing along pathways.  Also, if you're able, make a donation, even if only $5.

This page also has information about the town and trails, though I could not locate a map.  There is a map in the parking lot of the town site.

Lumberman's Monument

Lumberman's Monument is just to the east of Iargo Springs (posted couple of days ago).  It's part of the Highbanks Trail.  I've been to this historical site several times.  Photos of various trips can be found here.  The site can easliy be found opposite Monument Road off River Road, which follows the AuSable to the south.  This is like Iargo, having many steps to walk down to the water and right back up.  It is handicap accessible in the areas surrounding the parking lot and parts of the trails but to get down to the water, it's not.
