Nestled within Palms Book State Park, this spring is located in Michigan's stunning Upper Peninsula.

Words

Its name translated from Ojibwe means "big, cold spring."

This natural spring is 200 ft. wide & 40 ft. deep.

The water temperature remains 45 degrees year-round, so therefore it never freezes.

kitch-iti-kipi is a protected spring, so there's no swimming or fishing allowed here.

But you can take a glass-bottomed raft out across the water to see into the cold spring.

The raft is on a rope line, and you turn a wheel to move across the water.
