Enji-minozhiiyaamigak:
The Place of Peacefulness Nature Preserve

Enji-minozhiiyaamigak is an Anishinaabemowin word for “The Place of Peacefulness”. This is an inclusive term, a place of serenity and calmness for all living things: people, animals, trees, plants, and everything there and passing through.

Roughly .5 mile of universally accessible trail meanders to a lake overlook platform that offers stairs to the beach. A steel tree sculpture framing a historical Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians settlement map is found next to the platform. The sculpture of the Marker Tree was made by the Spring 2025 Class of the Industrial Arts Institute in Onaway.
