Secret Beach
<p>Somewhere, way Up North, between Empire and Frankfort, is my favorite beach, a secret beach. Tucked away on the shores of Lake Michigan for few to know about and even fewer to get to.</p>
<p>Getting there is, of course, half the fun and starts with a meandering drive along M22. A trip to the beach starts at the trailhead, which is what helps to keep it a secret. Parking at the trailhead is fairly limited, admittedly, I’ve only ever seen one or two other vehicles during my visits.</p>
<p>The hike to the beach is a little over two miles through a majestic northern Michigan hardwood forest. Stepping onto the trail, one is immediately surrounded by a mix of pine cedars, birches, hemlocks, maple, and beech, all stately hiding the existence of the jeweled shores on the other side.</p>
