Ancient Settlement in Alger County, Michigan.
Several Archaic and Paleo-Indian sites on Murray Bay have been excavated to determine dates of occupations (some as much as 5000 years old), settlement patterns, tool use, and hunting and gathering evidence.

Unless a field school is in progress there is little to see of the archaeology of Grand Island, but the National Recreation Area remains a beautiful location for hiking, camping, kayaking, and fishing.
The island is accessible by ferry. Bikes can be brought or rented on site. There is also a bus tour. Sights include the colored sandstone cliffs of the adjacent Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
