until someone reminded that the
state wasn't going to run the hotel
but would merely build the prop
erty and lease it out to private
hotel operators, such as the United
States government has done for
years at its national parks.
In fact, even the state owner
ship and operation of a resort is
bit old-fashioned, for the State
of Michigan already owns and oper-
ates number of group camps at
the Yankee Springs recreational
area near Hastings, halfway be-
tween Grand Rapids and Kalama-
zoo, and the Waterloo recreational
area near jackson.
The Porcupine lovers were dis
turbed last October when a group
of hotel people assembled the noun
tain to particularly high escarp-
ment where there is a commanding
view of the Lake of the Clouds. Ho-
tel men went in raptures of enthu-
siasm. One top operator went so
far as to select the site for the
state lodge. 1t happened to be the
best view of the lake, of course,
and hence would offer considerable
appeal to lodge guests.

winter use Of the state lodge and
cabins is being seriously considered.
At the Rib Mountain state park
in Wisconsin, near Wausau, the
state of Wscosin has built COM
modious stone clubhouse for ski
fans. Nearby is a steel cable tow
with J-hook carriers which trans
port both the skier and his skis
up the mountain at a steady clip.
The day rate is 81 for adults; 81
for children. Fred Pabst, Milwau-
kee ski enthusiast, owns the con-
cession which built the sturdy ski
tow and operates it on week-ends
during the winter sport season.
Ski trains bring hundreds of
Sunday visitors from st. Paul, Mil
waukee and Chicago. And Rib
Mountain doesn't begin to offer
the variety of scenic possibilities
and attractions which are latently
awaiting development at the Mich
igan Porcupines.
The public recreational business
in Michigan is only 26 years old.
It's big development has been
in the last half dozen years.
During the first quarter of CEN
fury, 1919 to 1914, the state had
acquired some $4,000 acres of land
for park and recreational use.
In 1913 the national park service
presented 1900 acres Of the Wa
terloo and Yankee Springs recre-
ational areas to the conservation
department. The legislature In 1914
appropriated 100000 to acquire
approximately 100000 acres In

ONTONAGON, Mich. - Michi-
gan's new Porcupine Mountain rec
reational area, which lies just TO
the west of Ontonagon along the
shores of Lake Superior, is one OF
numerous park and recreational
projects which are due for marked
development during the coming
postwar years.
AS YOU stand on top Of one OF
the high escarpmentS and view the
blue waters of the Lake of the
Clouds, surrounded by a skyline
of mountain ridges, you begin to
appreciate anew the vastneSs of
Michigan and the Importance OF
its new program of public recrea-
ton.
The Porcupine Mountain area
with its 42,OOO-acre timber wilder
ness merits particular attention In
the overall plan. AS one of the
few remaining wilderneSSeS In
Michigan, it may be the first to
receive the benefit of a state-owned
lodge and cabins where day-to-day
tourists could obtain lodging and
meals.
The beauty of the Porcupines,
now unmarried by commercial re-
sorts, already has provoked dis
agreements among some members
of the state conservation commits
sion and the department. The idea
of the state going into the hotel
business was bit startling at first
The Wyandotte news-herald. (Wyandotte, Mich.) 1943-1963, 1945-09-04

own ideas, TOO. We're not letting
the cat out Of the bag to disclose
that among the Ontonagon ideas
of what should be done to the Por-
cupines is this innovation: Build a
swimming pool smack on top, right
by the state lodge.
The notion isn't so Screwy as it
sounds, however. When the Kewee-
nav county highway commission
went into the park business, via the
million-dollar golf course and club
house at Copper Harbor, officials
discovered that the public wasn't
willing to go to a fine clubhouse,
exist on choice food, listen to the
radio, play bridge and read the
funnies. They wanted diversion.
Hence the Keweenaw clubhouse and
lodge led to a heavy WPA invest
ment of the golf course which had
to be scraped out of the woods at
much trouble and money.
How to keep the Porcupines a
wilderness and at the same time
provide interesting attractions to
the motor-minded tourist is a rid
die. Among the ideas already aired
are these: Build foot and bride
trails whereby the traveller could
get into the forest area; Create a
tent city at Mirror Lake Give miles
to the south of Lake of the Clouds
and provide transportation to the
lake by saddle horses and pack
mules. in typical western fashion.
Winter ski opportunities are
many ut the PorcupineS. In fact

tan Detroit district.
The Porcupine Mountain area
with some $4,000 acres received
81 100000 of state funds.
Next will come the problem OF
public utilization of Michigan's
park and recreational lands. The
state department has a five-year
program for development of its park
lands, calling for a total expendi-
ture of s16,316,529, for which high
ways, park drives and parking areas
would get s6,500,0O0.
The states park and recreation
al program, If supported by the
public, should afford countless
hours of healthful enjoyment for
Michigan residents. Better yet, it
should be sound business invest
ment, augmenting the states tour

them, We believe 1t can be made to
pay part Of its own way.
