About this postcard
A rustic stone picnic shelter with a long shingled roof and open pavilion stands among slender birch and pine on sandy ground at Indian Lake State Park. A single figure in a hat and light shirt stands in the shadowed opening. The park sits on Indian Lake near Manistique in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a region of pine woods, lakes, and small lumber and resort towns. The stone-and-shingle shelter is the kind of public picnic building state parks added in the 1920s and 1930s for auto tourists and local outings.
