One of the oldest state parks in the Upper Peninsula, Brimley was established in 1923 with just 38 acres. Now it comprises 160 acres with about a mile of sandy beach frontage on Lake Superior's Whitefish Bay.

The title of this page tells what I think are the best things about Brimley State Park. On the first night I arrived, I was greeted with the sunsets pictured below (which pictures don't even begin to capture the panoramic beauty of these sunset shows)!

The blue behind the fluffy, cottonbally clouds was still intense as the sun was making its way under the next layer of golden clouds - then the sliver of light illuminating the lake on the horizon...

in terms of diverse beauty, overall this was my favorite sunset ever!

I also loved this later view with the couple walking down the beach to help set a romantic scene.

On a different night, I enjoyed watching these kids take advantage of every sliver of light to keep playing and having fun.
On my last night, this golden sunset was visited by this woman and her Golden Retriever!
Not nearly as dramatic in broad daylight, families enjoyed the sunshine and swimming all throughout the day.

Many campers I met here took day trips to Tahquamenon Falls to the north, and also to St. Ignace or Mackinaw City (also to get over to Mackinac Island) to the south (about 50 miles apart either way).
