Big Bay State Park protects a long sand beach, a barrier sand spit enclosing a quiet lagoon, and a boardwalk over a true northern bog of black spruce, tamarack, and sphagnum moss. The island was a fur-trade center at La Pointe and remains Ojibwe homeland today. Music: "Earth Prelude" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0.
