Interlochen State Park, Michigan
I got a chance to visit this area again and take some photos. One  thing I was sad to see is that the Michigan DNR seems to be the worst  enemy of the trees here. They just put two access roads right through an  area of mature hemlock/white pine at the park entrance, ostensibly to  reduce traffic backups on M-137 from campers entering or leaving the  park. Quite unfortunate, combined with the fact that they put a  CAMPGROUND in the middle of the old growth here!! Oh well. There are some beautiful examples of old growth red pine along with the  white pine, hemlock, beech and white oak. Someone needs to accurately  measure heights here. My eyeball technique (not the most accurate) says  some of the white pine is in the 140-150 foot range. I found a couple  red pine to rival the biggest I saw at Hartwick Pines State Park.

	This white pine core is mounted at the trailhead. The tree is dated to just prior to 1700.
	Typical size of the larger white pine here.
	Old white oak. Note the moss at the base.
	"The Leaner", a very tall white pine growing at an angle.
	How's this for a burl?
	Stumps along a power line clearing, one of the many signs of human disturbance here.
	A big red pine right at the edge of the power line clearing. This one had no limbs for its first 50 feet or so.
	An old hemlock surrounded by young white pine.
	A campground with paved access roads takes up the eastern half of the area of old trees.
