Rent-a-Tipi -- At the Interlochen State Park

You can rent a lot of things these days, but how many of you knew you can rent a tipi?! (AKA teepee).

If you’re going to be in the Interlochen, Michigan area you have your chance! The Interlochen State Park has one they rent out. And it’s much bigger that it looks, at least 12 feet in diameter, and maybe 12 feet tall inside. The inside shot above gives a better idea of how much room you really have. It even comes with an electrical outlet and a few inside lights! They say it sleeps four and I see they furnish cots, but I’m sure you can bring your own.

The campsite is right on the edge of the pretty Duck Lake, and there’s a short set of stairs nearby. See the view below.

The Interlochen State Park was established as Michigan's first state park by the Michigan Legislature in 1917, and is located on two fishing and swimming lakes: Green Lake and Duck Lake. The park was established to preserve one of the last virgin pine stands for the people of Michigan. And indeed, it has some beautiful old-growth trees along the Pines Nature Trail. (And of course very nearby is the Interlochen Center for the Arts -- always fun to visit!)

And so ends my "public service announcement!" (No, I' don't work for the Bureau of Tourism, it's just a really nice place.)

The photo on the left was taken 11-25-2011 with a Panasonic FH25.
The other two were taken 9-10-2011 with a Panasonic FZ18.
