To get there, just follow this map and these directions:

Since Escanaba is so far north, we will only do directions from the south.

From the South (Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison, etc.)

• We will start in Green Bay, WI.  Head north on U.S. 41.
• Continue north on U.S. 41 through Peshtigo, WI to Marinette, WI/Menominee, MI.
• Here is where you will cross the state line (where you cross the bridge over the river).
• Shortly after crossing the bridge, U.S. 41 angles to the right (east) onto 10th Ave.
• Three blocks later, U.S. 41 turns left (north) on 11th St.
• Continue north on U.S. 41 for 30 blocks (until you pass 38th Ave.).
• Now you have a choice, you can continue straight on U.S. 41 or you can turn right on Michigan State Highway 35 (M-35).  If you take U.S. 41, you will reach Escanaba in 63 miles and you will go through many towns.  If you take M-35, you will reach Escanaba in 54 miles and you will go through only one town.  Beware, though, M-35 only has one gas station (which is at the town of Cedar River and was closed the last two times I went through) between Menominee and Escanaba, so if you need fuel or a rest break, do it in Menominee or Escanaba.

Marinette, WI/Menominee, MI.

• Continue north on which ever route you choose.  If you take U.S. 41, continue north to Powers, MI.  Here you will meet U.S. 2.  Turn right (east) on U.S. 2/41 toward Escanaba.  If you take M-35, just continue on that road.  There are no other major roads until you reach Escanaba.
• As you near Escanaba, you will start to see billboards instead of just trees.  Then all of a sudden you will be in the town.
• If coming in on M-35, continue north.  The first stop light will be at 5th Ave.  The second one will be at Ludington Street.  M-35 ends here.  U.S. 2/41 comes in from the west (left side) and turns left (north) to continue the road directly in front of you.  You turn right (east) on Ludington Street.
• Proceed 23 blocks (the entire length of Ludington Street) to the Waterfront.
• Ludington Park and Encampment area are on the left (north) side of the street, across from the House of Ludington.
