Back Country in Michigan
A great place for nature and hikes on the roads around the 800 acre island. The runway is in great shape and it's worth the stop and suitable for many aircraft.
It's a volunteer run airport on state land. It's very remote with nearly no cell service. However the runway is excellently maintained by the volunteers.
Be mindful that this is an esspecially difficult place to keep open. They ask that you don't waste materials that are there and please fly your trash out when you leave. There is a rustic camping setup on the north side of the 07 threshold. Read the Notams and be cautious about landing with less than 8.50 tires after rain. After a few days of dry weather it's solid and a top notch grass strip. Watch weather before you go. Without cell service your eyes are possibly your only weather source after you land.
