OUR BEACH IS IN THE NEWS!  
Pere Marquette Park is listed as a *Beach Find* in the Oct 2005  
issue  
of National Geographic Traveler, p. 106: 
         "Two-mile-long Pere Marquette's wide swatch of  
          sole-soothing sand keeps visitors active with  
          volleyball nets, playground sets, and picnic areas.  
          The water is pristine and salt-free.  
          'No jellyfish--and no sharks'. . ."
