On a two lane road that is listed as suitable but is less than ideal for biking or walking, but only 10 minute drive to Manistee a cool town with fun food options and great beaches. No direct lake access (lake is across the street and separated by private homes and access). ##### Mike Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [St. Clair Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-The-St-Clair-Inn.h36685.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Sault Ste.
