4 Star Places To Visit in Presque Isle, Michigan, United States (4)

1. 4.5 Ocqueoc Falls (123 reviews)
   - Fantastic place to go
   Waterfalls
   
   
   What a great little gem. Nice grassy picnic area near the falls. If planning on entering the water wear water/tennis shoes. I recommend life jackets for younger children, especially if they plan to jump from the falls. We got there at 11:00 and were able to park in the lot, we left at 1:00 - cars were parked up and down the road. You do need a State Park passport. I did not see it, but my understanding is that you will get ticketed without it and/or parking along the road (don't know if true or not). We had a wonderful time. See more..
   
2. 4.5 New Presque Isle Lighthouse (106 reviews)
   - Beautiful views
   Lighthouses
   
   
   We visited the keepers house first and was given a tour by Carl who was fantastic and really knows the history of the lighthouse keepers and Coast Guard that took over. The “new” lighthouse next door has 138 steps and is the tallest in the Great Lakes that is open to the public to climb. The 3rd order fresnel lens is on display at the bottom by the gift shop. It is $5 to climb this lighthouse and price includes the old Presque Isle lighthouse. You can go outside on the catwalk; most Great Lakes lighthouses you cannot go on the catwalk. Views are beautiful. See more..
   
3. 4.5 Old Presque Isle Lighthouse (31 reviews)
   - Lake Huron lighthouses
   Lighthouses
   
   
   National Historic Register! This was a very quiet spot where you can climb up the lighthouse (not very tall but its only $5 for both this one and New taller lighthouse mile down the road), and its right on the beach that you can just sit and enjoy the sound of the waves or if its hot you can wade out into the water. The kids enjoyed seeing the old light house and being able to climb up. You can also ring the old bell! See more..
   
4. 4.5 Besser Natural Preserve (3 reviews)
   - Beautiful!
   Spent 1-2 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas
   We took a winter hike through the preserve and it was breathtaking. We didn't see much of the old village - everything was covered in snow. The area is beautiful and the views of Lake Huron are stunning! See more..
