Re: Trail Report: Sterling State Park
Jeremy,
There are no rustic campsites. All 256 are RV accessible. Also, the campground is out in the open. Shade would be at a premium. However, you could probably just set up your tent and pull your sleeping bag down to the beach and sleep near the waves. I've always liked the view from Sterling into the lake. And I'd love to see a sunrise. However, there are several power plants visible from the campground - the largest is the Edison plant which tends to dominate the southern view. Basically, if you have a couple of friends from college and want a nice place to down a few beers around the campfire with really nice showers, this is the place.
During non-summer months, Lake Erie beach camping is available at Erie State Game Area farther south.
So, Sterling is not unpleasant, but it wouldn't be my first choice to camp at.

Hello!
Warning: this is a bike report:)
After $13 million dollars of renovation, I figured that SterlingState Park (Monroe, on Lake Erie) might be interesting to checkout. So, Kathy and I got on our bikes and spun around the place.
We started near one of the beach houses and followed a new 0.6 milepaved trail just inland from the beach. Very nice.
Then, we shot across a new bridge across interior marsh and zoomedaround the 2.8 mile Marsh Trail. Again, this trail is paved. We saw lots of birds and enjoyed the lush foliage that lined the trail. We also loved the many turns on this trail that made the biking interesting.
As we finished the loop, we followed a paved path along the park road and more interior marsh. I'd imagine this section added a couple of miles to our bike. So, we only ended up biking about 6 miles and did most of the park.
Then, we got off the bikes and walked the 1 mile round trip shoreline trail along the Lake. Nice views.
Every structure in the park is new. The beachhouses are new. The gigantic park headquarters are new. The trails are all smoothly repaved. The picnic areas are new. There are also nice interpretive displays in a couple of spots that focus on things like the old Monroe Piers. Anyone who had ever visited this place prior to the renovation will be impressed. Much improved.
However, there were some big disappointments. The new trail system seems only to add a few paved miles to the original system. I was hoping for much more. The park also ignores about half its current acreage. Uplands interior to the marshes are not used at all. I am hoping that eventually, some natural trails will be created here.
My biggest disappointment was the lack of any renovation to the US Army Corps of Engineers contaminated dredge site between the beach and boat launch. This area still has a rusty fence around it. There are paths along the top of the dikes that have been fenced off for as long as I've been alive. I was hoping walkers might get access to these. But no. And the shoreline trail did not even get repaved.
However, this park is much better than before. The campground is now right on the lake and I can already see the connector trail to the City of Monroe being worked on. It will make a nice daylong bike in a few years.

While Sterling SP (Monroe) is not a hiking destination, it does have a nice set of paved trails. They are also doing a really nice job of restoring marsh to the old campground and headquarters areas. Demolition of a nearby paper plant is in progress. The end result will be an enlarged battlefield park connected to Sterling along a Lake Erie marsh.

Woodtick Peninsula Hike Reports
I posted the following hike reports to the Great Lakes Hikes Yahoo Group. They may contain some useful information:
09/28/00
If you live in SE Michigan and get the bug for a slightly more rugged hike, this might be a possibility.
The hike follows a peninsula of land along Lake Erie. You may have to over/under fallen trees and you will definitely have to wade if you want to go farther than a couple of miles. There is no "trail", but generally stay as close to the shoreline as possible.
At certain points, the hikeable portion of the peninsula breaks into a series of small islands. Just wade to the next one - the water is usually only about a foot deep.
Bald eagles nest nearby and all kinds of birds and aquatic mammals are present.
The drawback to hiking here is an obvious industrial presence. The hike starts just behind a power plant and other factories can be seen along the shore. But, you can also see lighthouses and passing freighters.
Camping is legal with a free DNR permit from Oct. 1 to April 1. Watch for hunters in season, hike with a partner and make drop-off arrangements if camping, rather than leaving your car at the trailhead.
Directions to Hike: Take I-75 to the Erie/Temperance exit just north of the Michigan/Ohio border. Go east from the exit towards the power plant. The road dead-ends into a small parking area. Continue east on foot to the beach. Then, hike south along the shore or up on the factory dikes.

1/19/01
Monroe County: Erie Marsh Preserve/Erie State Game Area. The Woodtick Peninsula in the game area is a 4 mile hike each way. It involves wading in the shallows and ends at an island at North Cape. And campable from Oct. 1 to April 1. And if the state ever got its act together, the peninsula could connect to about 8 or 10 miles of dike in the Nature Conservancy's Erie Marsh and about 2 or 3 miles of dike in Luna Pier. You could hike for 20+ miles with a little effort. Also, two or three more bald eagles nests.
1/28/01
Monroe: Erie Marsh/SGA: Take I-75 to the Erie Rd. exit just a fewmiles North of the Ohio border. Go East until this road dead ends ina parking lot in sight of a power plant. Hike East until you hitLake Erie. Begin hiking south to the end of the peninsula. [Note: Iwas out there this weekend, and winter ice forms a natural bridge into the preserve, allowing for a 10+ mile one-way hike.] Contact: Pt. Mouillee SGA at (734)379-9692; maps available at dnr.state.mi.us

I'd also like to backpack the Woodtick Peninsula in Monroe County. It's legal with a free permit during the fall/winter, but I know boaters camp there all the time in the summer and I think you might be able to convince a DNR guy to let you camp there. It's the only place where you can legally backpack on Lake Erie in Michigan - 4 miles or so each way in a little-known area.
9/22/03
On Sunday, I did a little exploratory hike at the Woodtick Peninsulain SE Monroe County. This was a small beach hike. My intent was to judge the current composition of the peninsula. I found that the series of islands that made up the peninsula last year are now connected. However, the connection to the southern peninsula is problematic. One route takes the hiker through knee to waist high water. The second passes through what looks like ankle high mud. The third passes through disorienting marsh reeds. None is a particularly easy solution. I didn't feel like running the gaunlet, so I stopped at 1.5 miles out and decided to return. I'll head back in the coming weeks to find the correct route. Still, the peninsula looks ripe for the taking.

Hike Report: Woodtick Peninsula
A few weeks ago, I reported on the status of the Woodtick Peninsula in extreme SE Monroe County. I had the choice between mud, water or marsh reeds. Today, I went back. The wind was blowing pretty strongly out to sea. This meant that the water in Lake Erie was being stacked up along other areas of the shore. This left water levels along the western shore noticeably lower. It was clear that this had been happening for a few days because the shoreline mud hada chance to solidify. This advantage to the hiker was nullified in some spots by the fact that the solidified wet sand that was present a few weeks earlier had turned into dry, shifting powder. But, I'll take solid mud any day.
Anyway, in years past, there had been a break in the peninsula very near to the base. This made it quite difficult to make it to the later portions of this 5 mile one-way shoreline hike. I even saw small boats pass through the gap at times. One of my favorite hiking moments was when one of these boaters asked me if I was shipwrecked. "No, just hiking," was my response.
This year, the peninsula seems pretty much solid. There was only a small section of weak mud. Several other hikers had placed drift planks on top of the mud. Patiently, I balanced my weight onto these and had little trouble passing onward.
Overall, I hiked about 5 miles, 2.5 miles each way. Lake Erie was quite placid. The beach grasses were very interesting. One section had about 30 or 40 bunches shaped like Afros that were turning purple on the beach. A few had broken from their root system and were tumbling down the beach. Temperatures were quite nice. I also had to pass over the Consumer's Energy hot water outflow area. This was actually quite interesting because it created a large area of whitewater into the lake. Sandbars had formed around this outflowarea. Birds congregated in the many hundreds on these small sandy islands.
Two lighthouses were visible, several sailboats, as well as a lonely fisherman in a boat offshore.
Nice day.
The "trailhead" (one of the most dangerous trailheads in MI) is offof I-75 at the Erie Rd. exit. Drive east to the power plant and parkby the blue barrels. Walk to the lake and hike south.
10/05/03:
Well, the thing is only a mile off of I-75. It's not a park, just a parking area put there by Consumer's Energy. There always seems to be broken glass and for several years, a guy was living in his van there. He was an old Vietnam Veteran who would write warnings on all the area signs warning people to take care of the area or else.
One time, I was a little late in getting back before dark and I ended up raising the awareness of some toughs with a shoreline bonfire. They started to follow me. I picked up a big piece of wood and waved it around as I headed back to my car.
That said, the power plant people have cameras focused on the parking lot and they sponsor beach cleanups. I also see Luna Pier police patrols occasionally. The peninsula is worth it. Bald Eagles, truly wild areas, lots of broad lake views. But it is hard to get past the first half mile.
01/08/04
The Woodtick Peninsula (Erie, MI) solidifies in winter and the vegetation cuts down to reveal a more dependable hike along Lake Erie. Constant wind action also takes snow off the hiking routes. The water outtake from the power plant gathers bald eagles in the wintertime.

Dequindre Cut Walk Info.
I received this post on an email group that I belong to. I think that a hike down the Dequindre Cut might be very interesting. It's June 24th.

Subject: Re: Dequindre Cut Walk
Hello all, Sorry about the lack of updates. Been a little busy with other things at the moment. Ok, so we have scheduled the Dequindre Cut walk for Sunday, June 24th. While there were some good suggestions for parking, I think that parking near the new Staples on E. Jefferson on Joseph Campau might be the best choice. There's some condos over there, the Atwater Block brewery is there, and it's a reasonable distance to the southern entrance of thecut. Be prepared to be there at 10am. We'll nail down a specific meeting spot as the date gets closer. As far as what kind of attire should be worn, I would suggestfull-length jeans/Dickies along with a long sleeve shirt. You can pickup some button-ups cheap at thrift stores and they'll keep you relatively cool. I would recommend thick-soled shoes; no flip-flops, sandals, or slip ons. We'll be walking on rocks, dirt, assorted brush, in addition to whatever has been accumulated down there over the years(paint cans, glass bottles, rail spikes, rail ties, etc). I've included a Google Map of the walk in the bottom of this e-mail. This shows the approximate meeting location and highlights the actual cut in green. The cut itself is about 1 to 1.5 miles long. Factor in the walk from the meeting spot and you have a 2-mile walk at least. Expect to be out and about for 2 to 3 hours. Because of this, I would suggest bringing some water and some snacks - granola bars, trail mix, or pretzels work well. Someone asked about breaking off from the group during the tour. While I cannot stop anyone from staying at a bridge or deciding they need to leave in the middle of the hike, I would advise against it. There's pretty much only a couple easy ways in, and we'll be using two of those entry points on our hike. The issue of safety also comes into play here. One or two people alone are easier targets than a mob of 10-20 people. As far as talking points go, most of it will be informal. I'm not going to make everyone stand around for an hour while I blather on about nothing in particular. At each of the bridges there will be opportunities to stop and photograph the artwork.. While there we'll probably inform tour-goers of the particulars about the pieces at that spot. So there won't be continuous blather but expect bursts of it at each bridge. If you think that someone you know may be interested in hearing about this project, or may wish to contribute to the Dequindre Cut Walk in any way, send their e-mail address my way and I can include them onfuture e-mails.

http://www.thealpenanews.com/stories/articles.asp?articleID=4149
Rogers City Bike Path
The Alpena News had an article about the Rogers City Huron Sunrise Trail.
Excerpts:
"Completion of design work later this year will set the stage for a proposed extension of the Rogers City Huron Sunrise Trail from P.H. Hoeft State Park to 40 Mile Point Lighthouse.R.S. Scott Associates, Inc. has been selected to design the extension, which would add another 2.1 miles to the 3.2 miles of existing bike path that runs from Rogers City to the state park."
"“It completes the original application, which was from Seagull Point to the 40 Mile Point Lighthouse,” Schaedig said. “40 Mile Point Lighthouse is a good destination point.”
