点评:A great fall day in Newport State Park and Ellison Bay. We drove up hwy 42 from our hotel at the Nordic Lodge in Sister Bay and enjoyed the winding road and fall tree colors all the way to the ferry at Northport. Then came back down to Newport State park and hiked the trails along the shoreline of Lake Michigan. The trails were marked fairly well and our dog excitedly lead the way through most of them. The park is clean and maintained with care. Overall it was well worth the price we pay for our annual park sticker. After leaving the park we made a stop at Uncle Toms Candy Store. It was a unique small town treasure with historic relics and great home made candy. Don’t miss it, look for a two story farmhouse on the corner of Europe bay road and Timberline Rd.
Next we stopped at Island Orchard Cider and sampled a flight of their different ciders. They were excellent and it was also nice to be able to sit outside with our dog next to us. We look forward to repeating this visit again.

接下来,我们去了岛屿果园苹果酒厂,品尝了他们不同的苹果酒。苹果酒味道极佳,而且能和狗狗一起坐在户外,感觉也很棒。我们期待着再次光临。
