Hiawatha Youth Camp is located in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula, approximately 50 miles over the Mackinac Bridge. Part of the Piatt Lake Bible Conference Association (www.plbca.org) the camp is just a short drive from Tahquamenon Falls and Paradise, MI. The drive to camp will take around 6 hours from Detroit, 4.5 hours from Flint, 5 hours from Lansing, 90 minutes from Gaylord, and several weeks from Alaska.

I-75 North across Mackinac Bridge ($2.50 toll)

Take the M-123 exit, exit number 352, towards NEWBERRY/TAHQUAMENON FALLS.

Turn LEFT onto MI-123. After 33 miles you will be taken into the booming metropolis of Trout Lake, and must follow M-123 to the right at the grocery store. The signs will point you that direction.

Another 11 miles or so will bring you to the intersection of M-123 & M-28. The corner is marked by the only blinking light you will have seen in several hours.

Continue straight through the intersection, winding through Eckerman (home of the Bear Butt Inn on your right).

Nearly 4 miles after going through that intersection, you will find North Rd. There will also be a sign for Hiawatha Youth Camp just before North Rd.

Turn right on North Rd.

This bumpy gravel trail will dead end at the home of the Piatt Lake caretaker. You’ll see a small registration center on the left. Turn left and you’re less than 2 miles from home.
