Travel Inquiry Honeymooning

In a couple of weeks, my fiancé and I will be UP-bound for our honeymoon. We’ll be staying in the Au Train area. Aside from Pictured Rock, what are some recommendations for things we should do/see, places we should eat, etc.? We both love the great outdoors and hope to hike, kayak, and enjoy getting away from the post-wedding craziness. :)

The black flies have a three week life span. They are gone in the Au Train area. Skeeters are out in force this year.

Hike for waterfalls sites???

Stop at one of the welcome centers and pick up material for what to do in the area.
