Explore Kitch-iti-kipi, Michigan’s largest freshwater spring, also known as ‘The Big Spring,’ nicknamed ‘Mirror of Heaven’ by the Ojibwa. 💧 This natural wonder pumps out a staggering 10,000 gallons of crystal-clear, teal water per minute, maintaining a constant 45°F. Catch a glimpse of massive trout from the self-operated raft. This is a must-see for anyone visiting the Upper Peninsula! 🎥 @frommichiganwithloveblog #UPTravel #PureMichigan #MichigansUpperPeninsula #UpperPeninsula #Michigander #U

Take a close look inside our freshwater aquariums and you’ll see more than fish – there are beautiful underwater gardens too! These vibrant plant communities remove waste from the water, generate oxygen, and give the animals places to hide so they feel safe. Like most gardens, ours take lots of care. We use special substrates to promote root and leaf growth, add CO2 as a carbon source for plants, and even full spectrum lighting to maximize photosynthesis. | New York Aquarium
