Gladstone Vacation Guide
Gladstone, the 'Year 'round Playground' of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, is located about 120 miles north from the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and sits along the shore of Little Bay de Noc which makes up part of the dark blue waters of Green Bay on Lake Michigan.
The population of about 5,000 makes for a 'small town' feel but the city has a lot to offer. Gladstone's shore-line includes wooded parks, beaches, a campground, a boardwalk through natural settings, and a public boat launch near the yacht club and tranquil marina. In summer months, the bay churns with all types of water activity - from swimming and boating to world-class walleye fishing. The Gladstone Golf Course lies in a pristine woodland along the Days River where deer roam the tree-line. The town hosts the area's festive Fourth of July celebrations each yar. In winter, Gladstone offers a ski park, ice fishing, hunting, and snow machine trails. An annual motorcycle race event takes place on the nearby, frozen, Escanaba River.
Recently renovated downtown streets, the many houses and buildings that are more than a century old, and the numerous 'mom and pop' businesses and services all enhance the friendly, relaxing, small-town atmosphere. For a big time in a small town, visit Gladstone.

Fall colors line country roads and reflect in the Escanaba River. The red and orange leaves of oaks and maples - and golden yellows of white birch - enliven green forests of pine and cedar. Curtains of faded white smoke from neighbor's furnace fires drift out of colorful woods into b…

Paddling the kayak over to Kipling Bar last week, I was treated to a somewhat rare sight on Little Bay de Noc - a Great Lakes ore boat at the Gladstone coal dock. The Maumee was an older, fairly small ship but looked gigantic on the narrow waters seven miles into the bay from Escanaba…

I got my hangar plowed out, repaired a broken water line, and fired up the '76 Volkswagen La Bamba. Two electric heaters took the bitter chill out of the place but the air still felt warmer on the hand inside the refrigerator than in the kitchen; an odd sensation. Whenever it warms u…
