Tahquamenon General Store

Morning! Not saying good because I know some are not in a good place in my Northern lower area. I'm so sorry for all the devastation your experiencing. I pray you can recover quickly, or have family you can depend on. I've been watching videos and it's heartbreaking to see. Us on the other hand faired great. No power outages at all for us, even though we got freezing rain at times but guess we were farther North and turned to snow. About 4-5" I'd say. What a helluva season we've had. Just letting you know your all in my thoughts and prayers. Not to mention the numerous tornadoes yesterday as well.

Just to give the heads up , my fuel situation is on the low side. There's load restrictions right now and I can only get 600 gals delivered this week. I'm about out of Premium. I'm only getting 100 gals tomorrow and 500 no lead. Seeing it's the last weekend of the trail being open, and the falls trails have some open water, I'm going to be reluctant to get more premium. I will have good Octane booster when I run out. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but it's rough to make that decision.

Info about opening reservation up for the summer.

Next Friday, friends! Summer reservations for the Portage and Hemlock campgrounds open March 28th at 8 a.m. The Portage Loop will re-open June 13, and the Hemlock Loop on June 27.

📋 Reserve here: midnrreservations.com

The Lower Falls campgrounds will re-open with newly completed water system upgrades, made possible with federal relief funding from Gov. Whitmer's Building Michigan Together Plan.

Warning: trail 45 out to the falls is now opened up and not safe to go through. Sledder just here and was soaked to waist from falling through. That's the second one. This is from the store east in the swampy area.

Survey time: Who's all coming to get in another ride? If it's not going to be busy, I'll have enough gas, but if not I'll get more. We ended up getting 5" of heavy wet snow.

Well it's starting! Wood is stocked generator full & full cans. They are saying high winds. So hoping it's not as bad as they say. Sorry sledders I'm ready for this to be the last one. I'm so ready for warm days. It's been a long good winter. Thank you all!

FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY: The incoming winter storm is taking a more southeasterly track. This shifts the potential for heavier snowfall more east with lowest amounts along the shorelines. We're still expecting wet heavy accumulating snow this afternoon through tonight with poor visibility from strong winds. Plan road conditions to become difficult.

Well here's my next rant🤣 well today the Tahqumenon State Park Supervisor came in a gave me an update on the projects down in the park. I know he was dreading to come tell me the news ( which I can't blame him, he's just the messenger) but looks like they will not be opening any camping at either Hemlock or Portage they will not be opened up until mid to late June. So he's going to work at trying early June, but that still makes me lose all of Memorial weekend with no business. Once again my hopes of a great summer will be discouraging. 2 years now of something going on that's making it a challenge. Praying he's wrong and we'll get lucky and it will open sooner than later. You can't even reserve at all for the summer yet due to this. People are calling and going elsewhere for the summer vacations.

When is the best time to see waterfalls in Michigan’s Tahquamenon Country? Spring! As the snow melts, torrents of water thunder and spray the air. Pursue the rush!
