ONTONAGON, MICH. Backcountry explorers at Michigan’s Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park have a beautiful new spot to consider when booking their next trip.
The new Cotten Cabin is a rustic three-room log cabin that sits on a slice of land on the park’s western edge, overlooking Lake Superior. The cabin is about a mile walk from the nearest parking lot, offering the kind of seclusion that many people are seeking when visiting the 60,000-acre park.

In February 1921, the L’Anse Sentinel in Baraga County was among the news outlets reporting that Michigan Gov. Alex Groesbeck had sent bills to the Legislature that provided for reorganization of numerous components of state government into three separate departments.
Those bills, approved the next month, would create the state departments of agriculture, industrial and labor, and conservation.
