Frommer’s guide to the “500 Places to See Before They Disappear” gives a nod to the Mink River Estuary in its 2009 edition.
Hughes suggests exploring the estuary by canoe to soak in the silence, spot migratory birds, and enjoy one of the most pristine tracts of wilderness in the country.
The author does not lose sight of peninsula commercial trends.
The estuary is listed in the chapter titled, “At Water’s Edge,” under the headline, The Mink River Estuary, Blending the Great Lakes Shore.
