Review:
Visiting North Manitou Island is a unique experience; the 15,000-acre island is located in Lake Michigan and surrounded by fresh water on every side. Many visitors to the island choose to camp, and camping is permitted anywhere on the island 300 feet or more inland.
There is one designated camping area, and this is the only place fires are permitted. The island is only accessible by boat, and other popular activities include hunting, hiking, and swimming. Several old buildings are scattered around the island, but visitors are advised to stay away, as most of the buildings are quite decrepit and dangerous.
