This trip is a great chance to learn about backpacking the easy way, so give it a try and find out that it is not nearly as hard as you might think. It's also a great way to have fun and to explore a beautiful and under populated part of Michigan.
We'll leave from Rockford early on Friday, July 13th and travel to Leland to catch the ferry boat to South Manitou. From the dock, it's only a 1½ mile hike to our campsite. We'll explore the island until we're ready to leave on Sunday, July 15th, arriving back in Rockford by 10:30 pm
