For years I’ve driven by the Leslie E. Tassel Park in Cascade and thought “hmmmm that might be a cute little place to sit back and look at the river.” Wow was that an underestimation. It looks like nothing much from the street but once you park and walk along the paths you’ll see that this small park is really special. I have several pictures that I’m going to post over the next few days. Check it out, I think you will love Leslie E. Tassel Park. I do. Here’s a google map link to the park.
I was lost when I took this picture so I can’t give you a google map link to it. But, this was taken in the Kalkaska area, it might have been on M-72. One thing that surprised me was how absolutely beautiful this area is. I don’t know why that surprised me except that I’ve never heard Kalkaska mentioned as pretty.
That’s something Michigan has going for it. Even though a lot of places here don’t get much attention, it doesn’t mean they are lacking in the “spectacular” department. I’ll be heading for the Detroit area soon and would appreciate feedback from those of you who can give me suggestions for interesting places to show the world on the East side of the state. Just post it as a comment or send and email to me at ann@anntopia.com. Thanks!
