    Like Nothing You Have Ever Seen Before
    Very cool place, right off the road that you must see to believe. It is free, so you can either drive through or walk through. I liked it better than my wife, but I would say if you are driving between Marquette and Munising it is a must stop right off the main road.

    Whimsical Sculpture park
    This was amazing. Very imaginative characters that are relevant to all ages. I would recommend this to any age. Loved the facility with options for picnics, Ride or walking tours, shops that may or may not be open, and also the bog walk. The 24 X 7 hours great

    Lakenenland is worth the drive!
    What a remarkable group of metal art! I absolutely loved the whole thing. You can walk through or drive through...whatever works for you! Very busy the day we went...they had an event going on, but there's lots of room for everyone! I'd love to go again and see what additions there will be!

    Great day trip
    This was such a nice stop for the day. It really is free and always open! You can walk the half mile loop or drive. You can take snow mobiles in the winter. There are tons of sculptures and a nice playground. There’s also a covered picnic area with a fire place.

The artist creates amazing sculptures using his metalworking skills and imagination. A leisurely walk for 1/2 mile will reward you with a variety of uncommon sculptures guaranteed to interest you. The path can also be driven with your car. Don’t pass it up. Get this. The park is open 24. Yes. 24 hrs. But we recommend daytime to enjoy everything and read signs. There is no admission fee either. The artist has a big heart and welcomes the public. Go for it. You will be surprised.

We happened by here after bypassing it for years and it was a very pleasant surprise. Two of our group don’t walk so well and we were able to pull through here and check out all of the Iron sculptures by this local artists. Many have witty names and captions. This is all offered for free but there was a donation box that we were more than happy to add to.

This is not a tourist trap! There appeared to be some picnic areas and I read something about music jams on certain nights. There are small brochures at the entrance/exit. Enjoy!

This Sculpture Park is free and well worth the visit. There are receptacles for donations, which keeps this place going. He is a very creative person who has repurposed junk into sculptures. You can walk or drive thru. Walking allows you to pause and take time to look and enjoy. This is a one of a kind that you need to stop for.

We were surprised to find that the parking lot was plowed and the trails groomed (probably from all of the snowmobiles). The snow added a really interesting dimension to the sculptures that you probably wouldn't get in the summer. We didnt venture off the trail although we could see that there were more things off the beaten path. Great stop!

We just love this place! We took our group of friends here who had never been here, and they are now in love too! It was a beautiful day to walk through the sculptures. Even though we have been there a few times before, we always see more things that we didn’t notice before! It always amazes me that this place is so well kept and that it is free from vandals. Unfortunately, certain people seem to take enjoyment in destroying others property and we are so thankful that this is not one of those places. Thank you for this beautiful place you share with anyone who wishes to enjoy it. This is just an amazing way to repurpose and recycle items as well. The creativity is remarkable, and we look forward to seeing what’s new the next time we visit!

I do frequently stop here when I travel the U.P. There are new exhibits. Plus if you even stop here once a year, you will see detail of the sculptures that you hadn't noticed before. I love the free speech, some of the sculptures are interactive so that is nice as well to have kids play on them. Tom keeps adding. There also is an old mine with some items that are worth checking out. You can stop by anytime, it is freewill. So give what you want, but Tom gives you an excellent park to enjoy. Right on a snowmobile trail-so you can check it out in winter. The place is vehicle accessible, but NO large buses. Please check this place out. It is one of the most neat things to see. Not just in the U.P.

I have noted this, but not all sculptures are not kid friendly (language) but for me I really admire Tom's skill and his way that he expresses his freedom of speech. He is such a giving man. This is again a real gem. Enjoy it, you don't see many places like this anywhere else. Real work of art!

This is what America is all about. This guy was told by his local government to remove a piece of artwork on his lawn because it was distracting. He said "screw you" and bought a giant plot of land to display his artwork and told the Common Coincil members to get bent. He is a very talented artist with a message to get across. So very cool

A favorite to do in the area, this sculpture park is a unique stop for those traveling to or from the Marquette/Munising area. They do change out the sculptures so make sure you check this fun stop out if visiting annually. Donation is asked but not required.

Just looking out the window driving west when we saw the sign for this sculpture park. It was getting dark, which is probably not the best time to visit, but didn't want to let the moment pass. So glad we went. The sculptures are imaginative (would have wanted to know more about it, we picked up the card on the way out) and nicely situated on a trail we decided to walk so we could see it more detail. We enjoy creative sculpture and this was both whimsical and touching. Some pieces seem to be dedicated to the artist's friends who have died. Glad to have stopped by and contribute to the effort. I had no cell service, really would have loved to know more. Thank you for creating this!

Nice art park that you can drive around to see all of the amazing art works out of metal or you an walk if you prefer. Very easy walk to do. The sculptures are quite impressive when yo consider all of the thought and time that went into each one. Free admission, no bathrooms, but did have port-a-John’s. The gift shop was closed when we were there.
