Since you're going south towards Escanaba, you might like Palms Book State Park, there's a spring about 400' across and 40' deep. Completely clear. You can ride across on a covered glass bottom raft and see the fish all the way at the bottom, and boiling sand where 10,000 gallons of water come up every minute. Really neat.

Drop down to Fayetteville Historic State Park. It's an old iron smelting village on a snail shell harbor with towering white cliffs.

On your return trip, consider driving down to Manitowac and taking the SS Badger car ferry across Lake Michigan to Ludington. It's the last coal fired steam powered large ship in the U.S. and is designated as several historic landmarks.
