Escanaba Michigan a Terrific Town!

Long before the first white settlers arrived, Nokay Indian children liked to fish and play by Little Bay de Noc.  They called the area Escowanaba because the river there had wide flat rocks in it.  Escowanaba means, flat rock.  Today when visiting Escanaba you find yourself surrounded by beauty on every side, the bays, the arts, the buildings, here is a surprise destination that is worth it in every season.

Escanaba is in an area called the "banana belt" and with good reason.  The "lake effect" seems to work in reverse here and they get less snow per year than Lansing
