Upper Falls Brink Boardwalk Project Update:

The construction team has encountered unexpected conditions toward the bottom of the structure that will require additional time to address. As project engineers and park staff work toward solutions, the project’s completion is now anticipated for spring 2026. We will continue to post details as we get closer to completion.

As a reminder, the 3 viewing overlooks from above remain open as do all other amenities that are normally open in the winter at the Upper Falls unit.

We apologize for the delay and thank you for your continued patience as we work toward improving visitor experience for all.

✨❄️ Michigan winters hit different when the trails start to glow.

All across the state, lantern-lit hikes turn snowy paths into magical nighttime adventures — no screens, no crowds, just crunching snow, warm fire pits, and rows of glowing lanterns guiding you through the quiet winter woods.

Most hikes are free (you’ll just need a Recreation Passport), and many offer hot cocoa, warming fires, and family-friendly fun. Here are a few places to find them this winter:

🕯️ Island Lake Recreation Area — Brighton (Jan–Feb)
🕯️ Mitchell State Park — Cadillac (Jan–Feb)
🕯️ Ludington State Park — Ludington (Dec–Mar)
🕯️ Van Riper State Park — Negaunee (Jan)
🕯️ Tahquamenon Falls State Park — Paradise (Feb)
🕯️ Sleeper State Park — Caseville (Jan)
🕯️ Mt. McSauba Candlelight Hike — Charlevoix (Dec–Feb)
🕯️ Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park (Jan–Feb)

Bundle up, grab a friend (or your favorite thermos), and chase some winter magic. These glowing night hikes are pure Michigan at its coziest. ✨🌲
