where is Picket Bay?
I read the following from a 1941 brochure:
The following camp sites have been designated by the National Park Service: Picket Bay, Washington Harbor, Siskiwit Bay, Siskiwit Lake, head of Rock Harbor, McCargo Cove, and Chippewa Harbor.
Anybody know?
thanks
Jack

Re: where is Picket Bay?
Hmmm, I have a 1959-era brochure at home - I will look again to see if Picket Bay is marked on that one. It's super-interesting to me to see the evolution of the park through these historical brochures. They show trails for fishermen that are no longer there, the absence of many trails that are now taken for granted, etc. Any chance you could scan your 1941 brochure and post it in the History section?

Re: where is Picket Bay?
Pickett Bay is inside Todd Harbor. It's the inner-most bay inside the much larger Todd Harbor, on the southwestern end. The present-day Todd Harbor campground is in Pickett Bay. Found it on the USGS quad map.
Yes, please post the link! Then maybe I can get the moderators to move this thread into the History heading.

Re: where is Picket Bay?
I found it amusing that it cost men $2.00 for a fishing license, wives included was $.50 extra.

Re: where is Picket Bay?
Only if you're out of state. Proof that Michigan has been gouging tourists who fish longer than I've been alive!
