Join me (Brett) as I go backpacking alone for 4 days on remote North Manitou Island in Lake Michigan off the coast of Sleeping Bear Dunes. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed on the island since its a part of the National Parks so no Atlas dog :(

I was stranded there for two days because of bad weather and the ferry wouldn't run. Loved the adventure.

Glad you enjoyed North Manitou. I did that same hike back in 2005. That west shore at Crescent City is a special place. You can really feel the remoteness of the site with the strong weather blowing in from the open lake to the west. Cheers!

Wife and I backpacked North Manitou believe it or not way back in 1985 while we were living in T.C. We actually camped at what appeared to be where you were going to spend the night at Manitou Lake. It was a great trip with what I remember to be perfect September weather. Back then I remember the ferry from Fish Town ran until about Sept. 25thish. I hope you grabbed a brew and a meal at the Cove Restaurant on the wharf in Fish Town before ya left for down state. Loved your tent/lean to, have also enjoyed Knob Creek (when I could afford it)....like you, I missed seeing Atlas! Safe travels.

Great video! Went there in 2017 and I can't wait to go back!

Super interesting adventure ! I like the fact that you were very descriptive of the hike and elaborated everything so nicely. Epic!!

Been looking at this place and your video may have pushed me to do it- looks great!

[kirbyandy]

try fishing lake Manitou, lots of small mouth bass to eat. Also watch out for ticks in those fields with tall grass right next to the trail. I came back from the island with little hitchhikers latched onto my legs.

New subscriber here. I was like, "how does he have a sunrise and a sunset over the lake?" Oh, he's on island! I'll pay better attention next time.

That's a beautiful beach, plus video quality. Atlas was missed. Thanks for sharing your adventure 😊

Great video. Looks like a beautiful place and nice temps.

[AlexPlachta]

Beautiful island man. Definitely making this trip here soon.

[EvanLownds]

Great video. I love the sense of solitude that you were able to portray. It's been about 7 years since I've been to North Manitou, and I'm heading back in a couple weeks for a solo trip of my own. This video definitely got me excited for the hiking and scenery!

omg the beach looked beautiful ! great vid

[ericrollings]

Driving up from Orlando with Carmella (dog) my family lives in Leland and a Manitou trip is always great!

[justmestephanie]

Nice adventure! I’ve been to south manitou island it’s just as beautiful . The bandito scramble needs to be scrambled in a fry pan after soaking 😁 I too enjoyed a few nasty spoonfuls until I reread the instructions. It’s really good so try it again .

Great video! My girlfriend and I were there July 31st - August 2nd and it was beautiful! We hiked out the first day to Crescent Dock and camped a bit north of where you were. It was gorgeous.

Wow, that looked like an awesome trip!
