    Absolutely breathtaking scenic views! You can bring your dog. There's a gift shop and little signs…read moreat the top giving the history of Monument. There are also trails to take around the park. You can also take the 242 stairs down to the pond. Unfortunately, we were running late for our next AirBnB check in so we didn't get to check that out. Do yourself, family, and pet a favor and stop at this beautiful location. Really happy we did because I didn't want to LOL. This will definitely be added to the list of other locations we love when traveling up north! Sorry no pics; we were rushing!

    I have come to and enjoyed Lumberman's Monument many times over the years. First with my kids and…read morefast forward some thirty plus years to present day with my grandkids. The monument and out buildings give you a very nice history of this area spanning from the logging years in Michigan back in the late 1800's/early 1900's through the FDR years where youth/education programs were based in this area to more modern times of the US Forest Service and their work in preserving our great national/state forests in this area and their work in containing forest fires in this region over the years. Additionally there are interactive logging related displays that are quite fun and educational for adults and children alike. Aside from the the historical/educational aspects of this park there is amazing elevated scenic overlooks of the Ausable river that are some of the most beautiful scenic views I have seen in Michigan or anywhere for that matter. These are the sort of views you see in post cards and are worth the trip here alone. Finally there is the huge sand dune that runs down to the base of the Ausable. Literally just seconds to go down with gravity doing most of the work and many tortuous minutes to climb back up as it is literally two steps up and one step back as you fight the shifting sand under your feet. Great for kids but not so much for a sixty something old retiree. I have done this hill many times over the years but not this last time and my knees/lungs/muscles thanked me for for not doing it this last time.... Overall a great spot to learn some history about Michigan and see some of the most scenic views this state has to offer. A trip/experience that should not be missed if you are in this area. Five stars +
