Douglass Houghton Memorial — photo spot in Eagle River, MI 49950, USA
Douglass Houghton Memorial
Small bronze memorial to geologist Douglass Houghton sits above Eagle River with views of the historic bridge, rapids and wooded gorge. Photograph the statue framed with cascading water and seasonal foliage; autumn and winter (ice/snow) add drama. Best at golden hour or overcast afternoons for even light; sunrise gives low-angle side-light on bronze. Easy roadside parking and a short walk; paths can be icy in winter so wear traction. No entry fee—respect the historic site.
