Mystery Valley, MI

Steep valleys, deep caves and sinkholes characterize Mystery Valley, a unique karst terrain in northeast Michigan. Here, the region's spectacular earth cracks and sinkholes swallow natural springs as they edge their way toward Lake Huron. The Conservation Fund, through its Great Lakes Revolving Fund, provided a loan to the Michigan Karst Conservancy to safeguard 75 acres in the valley.
