The Onaway State Park is the state's second oldest state park and the site of an Ojibwa camp in days gone by. Situated on the shores of Black Lake, offering modern campsites, a nature trail and excellent walleye and bass fishing. Located 5 miles north of Onaway on Highway M-211.

Welcome to Moran Iron Works

The idea of local business man Tom Moran, his iron sculptures are the highlight of the Onaway 4th of July parade. The best kept secret in town, only Tom and his crew know what the project will be until the town gets it's first glimpse of the giant sculpture as it makes its way down Washington & State streets.

Moran Iron has been constructing large scale metal artwork for area buildings, public spaces and celebrations for the past several years. Check their website for images of the recent projects, and a photo of the project we chose.

From the day use area parking area in the Onaway State Park go to the left side of the lakeshore. Follow the lakeside trail 40 steps/20 paces to a medium size white birch tree. From the tree go inland 8 steps/4 paces to a large cedar tree. The eagle landed behind at the base of this tree.
