The annual Perseid meteor shower, which occurs in the first half of August, is a delight to view to the northeast thanks to the lack of light pollution from the mainland.

The Wagner Campground contains 22 primitive camping sites set among a dry mesic forest type. This is an extremely rare natural community, and this location is one of the top seven dry mesic northern forests in the State of Michigan. The Seven Bridges Trail across the road from the campground shows parallel wetland swales and upland beach ridges (dunes) found in coastal areas along the shoreline and make up the dune swale complex.
