This is a new spot for me, as I may have heard of Echo Lake before, but had no clue where it is. Laurie Bashaw said she had never heard of Echo Lake, but when she did they decided to get there and see the area. It’s about 10 miles from Marquette. I found this on the Echo Lake Conservancy webpage: “Located just a few miles outside of Marquette, the 480-acre Echo Lake Nature Preserve includes high bluffs of exposed granite bedrock, a mixed deciduous and conifer forest, wetlands, creeks, three high rock ponds and Echo Lake itself. Harlow Creek flows from its headwaters at Echo Lake, takes in water from Harlow Lake and empties into Lake Superior.”

Laurie also mentioned that the road is pretty rough and in case you’re wondering, Echo Lake does echo when you call out. Their webpage says they have a guided audio tour that you can access from the comfort of your home or onsite as you hike. You can learn more about that here: Echo Lake Preserve audio tour

Let’s join Get To Know Nature Down By The Creek where there are so many interesting things happening in summer. There are birds, dragonflies, damselflies, butterflies, water striders, fish and more.

I'm sorry to say i didn't see Echo Lake when i lived in Marquette. Looks beautiful and a fun trip to get there. Thanks Laurie!

Relaxing set! I’ll be there
in my mind’s eye. And a nicely
done, entertaining video.
