Lake of the Clouds Overlook in Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park

This photo was taken near the Lake of the Clouds Overlook in Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. A headlamp will be useful on the path if you are hiking to arrive by sunrise or leaving after sunset. By Car to the parking lot: - From Ontonago, take M64N for 13 miles - At the intersection of M64N and the 107th Engineers Memorial Highway W, go straight for 10 miles - Make a slight left into the Lake of the Clouds parking lot Hike from the parking lot: - Go up the stairs onto the boardwalk - Where the boardwalk splits, veer to the left (this arm of the boardwalk will end at a rocky outcrop that is just east of the main overlooks for Lake of the Clouds) - Carefully walk up onto the rocky outcrop and go east, staying fairly close to the woods - Head for the far left corner of the low wood and stone guardrail that runs along the rocky outcrop (this is the end of the guardrail that hugs the woods, NOT the edge of the cliff) - Carefully climb over or slide under the guardrail at this far left corner near the woods - Using great caution, hike east along the gently sloping rock, staying near the woods until the rock flattens out and provides a clear view of the lake.
