Are you trying to plan your next (or final!) summer adventure? If so, you should head across the border and plan a summer road trip to Michigan. There, you can have an incredible summer adventure rafting across a massive freshwater spring! In Palms Book State Park you can find Kitch-iti-kipi, otherwise known as Big Spring. The freshwater spring is a bit of a mystery as it fills with nearly 40,000 litres of water per minute, but it isn't known precisely where the enormous quantity of water comes from!

Kitch-iti-kipi means big cold water, and gets its name because the water maintains a constant temperature of 7°C! To help you explore the emerald lake that is 300 feet by 175 feet and is 40 feet deep, you can take a raft across the river.

I loved the raft with the observation opening in the middle which gave a great view of the bubbling spring and trout in the emerald water. . . . . . #puremichigan #picturedrocks #michigan #michiganders #mittenlove #puremittigan #michigrammers #upnorth #roadtrip #upnorthmichigan #up #upperpeninsula #manistique #mistateparks A post shared by Lisa Brown DiMaggio (@homeandawaywithlisa) on Jul 6, 2019 at 11:45am PDT The self-guided observation raft on the lake has a glass bottom so that you can explore underwater. Since the water in the lake is crystal clear, you can see all sorts of things like giant fish and ancient lime-encrusted tree branches.

A post shared by Michigan Sky Media (@michiganskymedia) on Jul 3, 2019 at 3:55pm PDT The boat trip across the water takes between 10 and 20 minutes and is well worth it. The cable raft is self-powered. To move the barge forward or backwards, you will need to spin a wheel on the boat.
