Bay City, MI

---

On our way, we stopped at Castle Museum, a converted stone post office in Saginaw that houses the town’s local history. In Bay city, we discovered how wonderful and cost-affordable county RV parks can be. The park was small but very well-kept and located close to Lake Huron. In Bay City, we visited the USS Edson destroyer used in Vietnam, then rode our Lectric bikes on an amazing miles-long boardwalk along and over the Saginaw River.

Former post office now houses local history museum. An interesting place to visit as we waited to check in to our campsite.

Walked out to the pier close to sunset.

Riverwalk
We enjoyed biking the riverwalk along the Saginaw River. Parts of the walk extend into the water. Enjoyed by walkers, runners, and bikers.

Hampton Bay
Took the bike trail near our campground to the bay. Beautiful view of the lake and many birds viewed along the trail.
