"Now, Petoskey State Park on the shore of Lake Michigan holds some of the only reminders that the Midwestern state was once an ocean. When Earth’s tectonic plates shifted and created the North American Continent out of this watery ecosystem, some of the coral life residing there came along for the ride. The state park is named for Petoskey Stones. These are small, unremarkable rocks, only identifiable by the faint spots covering their surface. When polished though, the perfectly hexagonal pattern grows visible, revealing what they really are. These are no ordinary pebbles; they’re actually the skeletons of prehistoric coral. Each of the spots was once a coral polyp. The dark centers were mouths, and the “rays” surrounding them were tentacles. Time has scrubbed them down to a rounded rock, but combing the beach for these little fossils can offer even amateurs a connection to the very, very distant past."

"No dogs allowed. Nice sandy beach to walk with showers and concessions"

"A teeny-tiny Traverse City for those who loathe crowds Petoskey's got everything you'd want from a dreamy Michigan beach experience, minus the Traverse tourists and the air of bougieness that all but ruins nearby Harbor Springs. There's Sunset Park on top of the bluffs overlooking Little Traverse Bay, where you’ll find a stair tower to Bayfront Park below. Then there’s Bayfront Park, with its clocktower, gazebo, waterfall, and central promenade that connects to the Downtown Gaslight District. There, go have dinner and raid the wine cellar at Chandler's, a northern Michigan favorite. Or, head a mere 7 miles down the road to the 100-foot-deep crystalline, glacier-formed Walloon Lake, where Ernest Hemingway once spent his summers writing at a local cottage. You’ll also want to get a beer-battered whitefish sandwich at Barrel Back (they have up to 23 local beers on tap, Bell’s Oberon being one of the most quintessential Michigan brews to try). Cozy up for the night at the gorgeous Hotel Walloon, a boutique hotel that has been painstakingly crafted to honor the historical style of the original Walloon Lake Village, and wake up the next day and rent a tricked-out boat from Tommy’s; they can hook you up with water ski gear, wakeboards, tubes, and life vests. There’s no reason to be at this stunning lake and not get out and play in it."
