Kitch-iti-kipi, Natural spring in Schoolcraft County, US
The spring measures 300 feet long and 175 feet deep, with emerald waters that maintain 45 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year at Palms Book State Park.
The site served as a gathering place for indigenous communities before European settlers established permanent residences in the Schoolcraft County region during the 1800s.
The name originates from Native American languages of the Upper Peninsula Michigan tribes, reflecting their connection to this water source across generations.
Visitors access the spring through a self-operated observation raft that moves across the water surface using a cable-and-pulley system.
The limestone bottom releases over 10,000 gallons of water per minute, creating visible sand patterns and supporting a population of brown and rainbow trout.
