Review:

Bald Mountain State Recreation Area is a 4,367-acre green space which can be found near Michigan’s stunning Lake Orion. The park is home to only recreational facilities in the world to ever be designed by renowned architect Gunnar Birkerts, a Latvian American who was mostly based in Detroit. The building complex comprises five mid-century modern resources such as men’s and women’s bathhouses, concession stands, a pump house, and more - together, they are called the Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and Contact Station and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The surrounding recreational area is mostly popular with anglers and hunters who come there to catch geese, rabbit, deer, bass, and trout.
