History
In 1974, Jim Henry purchased property on The Pere Marquette River and spent two years building it into a campground. He called it Henry's Landing. At first, Henry's Landing was meant only to serve fishermen during the 6 week salmon run in late summer. Jim's wife, Freda ran their general store; checking in campers, selling tackle and writing fishing licenses, which back then, was all done by hand. She was also an expert at tying spawn bags and making lead sinkers. At their fish cleaning station, Jim and his crew spent day and night cleaning thousands of fish. Later, they decided to extend their camping season to include summer camping and added canoe, kayak and tube rentals.
