My family and I just finished our vacation in AuTrain. It was our first time in this area of the UP. We had a blast! AuTrain lake has a mostly sandy beach that gets deep very gradually. Perfect for young kids! Erin is a pleasure to work with and she is very helpful. She provides maps and brochures of local attractions. The cabin is well stocked with the basics. We enjoyed spending time, fishing, at Lake Superior, my kids went bridge jumping, renting kayaks and paddling down the AuTrain river, visiting a few of the area waterfalls, driving into Munising and spending time at Miners beach and taking the Riptide Ride (This was very fun! But somewhat misleading. The boat ride tours you around the pictured rocks along Grand Island. But it does NOT take you to the main pictured rock along the mainland. So I ended up being a little disappointed. Having said that...our guide was very knowledgeable and the sights were beautiful! Hint:sit on the left side of the boat when facing the front of the boat). I would recommend staying here!!!
