We are busy making plans for the reopening of the Explore Munising Central U.P. Visitor Center this spring! We are located on M28 East across from the Days Inn and next to Hardees. We will be open by Memorial Day. There’s plenty of room to park your campers and RVs. If you were among the thousands that stopped by last year, please make sure to do so again and say hello. We have expanded our services so there are new things to see. Artists and craftsmen, we have programs for you to be able to display and sell your items. Currently we have member artists reserving space, but we have room for more. Please give us a call at 906-387-5710 for details.

Spring is definitely in the air and it doesn’t feel too shabby. For about the past week we’ve been experiencing some great weather. It looks like it’s here to stay. The waterfalls are starting to flow and the spring flowers will be blooming. Come on up and explore Munising!

We’d like to introduce a new listing on the Explore Munising website for a restaurant that just recently opened called Johnny Dogs. Located on Lynn Street in downtown Munising, (just off M-28 west) this isn’t your typical eatery. As you may have guessed by the name, their main specialty is hot dogs! Owned and operated by John Flanders, this business originally began as a summer hot dog stand but now has moved into a permanent spot. John has cooked for restaurants in New York, Boston and L.A. and his culinary skills are evident in the food at Johnny Dogs. Their menu includes a wide-variety of gourmet hot dogs, sandwiches, burgers, hand-cut fries, soups and daily specials. All menu items are prepared with fresh foods daily and the popular turkey and pork meats are smoked on-site every night. If you’d like to have an event catered, they do that as well. They also do themed parties and pig roasts. So, the next time you’re in Munising, check out Johnny Dogs for lunch, dinner or anytime! They are open Monday thru Saturday, 11am till late.
