How to get there

N44° 33' 51.6996"W85° 21' 44.6652"
This image was taken looking west on the railroad tracks that run adjacent to the Spring Lake State Forest Campground, just south of the town of Fife Lake. From Fife Lake, take US131 south for 0.9 miles. Then, turn left into the campground. Drive in and park at an open site that has spur access to the train tracks. After you've parked, take a right and walk east about 1/10 of a mile until you can position some fall colored trees in your shot. To get to exact spot where I took this photo, follow the GPS coordinates.
