A Dog's Day in Hell 

Our little pack invaded Hell, Michigan for a day and what a Hell of a time it was. Hell is not an actual town as much as it is a kitschy roadside attraction that costs nothing to explore.  You can pay to play Mini Golf if you wish, or you can enjoy the variety of Hell-themed photo opportunities scattered around the property.  You’ll also find the Creamatory where you can get some ice cream or grab a bite for lunch at Smitty’s Hell Saloon.  Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the Creamatory or inside Smitty’s Hell Saloon.  There are picnic tables along the banks of Portage (Hell) Creek, so one human can stay with the dogs while another human retrieves food for the family. 

 

For the lovers out there, the Locks of Love Bridge allows you to put your names or initials on a lock and lock it tight to the bridge for eternity.  If your ready to take Lover’s Leap and say, “I Do”, you’ll find a chapel where you can get married in Hell.  Nothing says a lifetime of happiness like a wedding in Hell.  

 

When your life meets its mortal end, The Scattering Yard is there for your loved ones to scatter your ashes making Hell your final resting place.  Your loved ones will have to go to Hell to visit you once you’re gone. 

There’s a special place in Hell for dogs – The Doggie Library.  A basket of sticks (or are they Styx?) where you can play fetch with your dog. Take a stick or leave a stick; just make sure that you play safely with your dog. 

It's not the River Styx but Portage (Hell) Creek that passes through Hell, Michigan. The dogs found it to be a nice place to cool down after a day in the heat of Hell. Jumping, splashing and playing in the water until their fur was saturated. 

 

The gift shop is not dog-friendly, but you can leave them with the spare human while you browse the gift shop full of tee shirts, hoodies, trinkets and collectibles from Hell. If you want to send a postcard home from Hell, you can have it scorched and burned so it arrives like it came straight from the depths of Hell. 

If you’re traveling through Michigan and looking for something fun and quirky to do, you have to stop in Hell.  Plenty of people have already told you to Go to Hell, so why not give it a stop?
