To view this wild, wacky and exciting collection of works by Michigan artists, you must hike, cross-county ski or snowshoe the trail. It's an art adventure long remembered. Campbell's bears, cigar store Indians, fishermen and sea captains are sold in shops across the country. The trading post also offers the works of some of the nation's highest regarded decoy carvers such as Jim Nelson and Jim Pullen, and the works of master carver Bob Kurkewicz. The gallery also offers original paintings, glassware and three-dimensional works by a variety of regional artists.
Hours are seasonal, so call ahead.
The Wooden Fish Gallery is devoted entirely to the fishing enthusiast. Owner Dave Kober, a fourth-generation carver, has been honored with the Michigan Heritage Award by the Traditional Arts Council at Michigan State University. His work is showcased in exhibits and wildlife shows throughout the Midwest. It's a great place to browse, reminisce and buy, sell or trade tackle and fishing gear. The gallery features three floors of original art and prints by nationally known artists Thomas Kinkaid, Terry Redlin and Nita Engle.
