There is a lot of public land in Michigan where you can legally do this, but few spots near Lake Michigan, which is where I like to be. There is one place though in the Lower Peninsula called the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area. It's a small area of federal land, about 3,500 acres of forest sandwiched between beach towns, Ludington and Manistee. Throughout the forest is a series of unmarked hiking trails that take you out to the shore line. It's a five mile hike out to the beach, up and down dunes, bluffs, and various terrain. May not seem like much, but with gear and a heavy pack, it's enough to keep a lot of people away. And the payoff is a large portion of undeveloped Lake Michigan shoreline all to yourself, where you are allowed to set up camp 400 feet from the water.

So other than your tactical bunkers, where do you fucks go to "get away from it all?"
