Palms Book State Park - Schoolcraft County, Michigan USA - State/Provincial Parks on Waymarking.com

Palms Book State Park is located in Thompson Township, Schoolcraft County, in the eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There is a concessions building, small picnic/playground area, and restrooms in the park. The park is noted for Kitch-iti-kipi, the "Big Spring.”
“Palms Book is home to one of Michigan's alluring natural attractions – Kitch-iti-kipi. Two hundred feet across and 40 feet deep, Kitch-iti-kipi is Michigan's largest freshwater spring. More than 10,000 gallons a minute gush from fissures in the underlying limestone at a constant 45 degrees Fahrenheit…”
“Observation Platform:
A self-guided observation raft guides visitors to vantage points of the Big Spring overlooking fascinating underwater features and fantasies. Ancient tree trunks, lime-encrusted branches and fat trout can be seen as they slip through crystal waters far below. Clouds of sand kept in constant motion by gushing waters create ever-changing shapes and forms – a challenge to the imagination. The self-guided observation raft and the trail leading to it are ADA-accessible.”
