Review:

Located within the historic town of the same name, Fayette Historic State Park is a lovely place that is situated between Sand Bay and Snail Shell Harbor in the Big Bay de Noc of Lake Michigan. The town itself is extremely popular as it used to be an industrial community which manufactured charcoal pig iron but was later reconstructed into a living museum to give visitors an idea of what life was like there in the late 19th century. Listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, the park itself is only 711 acres and was established in 1959. Visitors who come there love to spend their time hiking on the 5+ miles of trails, which are groomed in the winter to accommodate cross-country skiing. There are also 61 semi-modern campsites which are situated besides playgrounds, picnic shelters, and restrooms.
