I'm immature but I always chuckle when I see Dicker's Peck and Dundicking on maps.

Unless I missed it, surprised no one has mentioned Iron Nipple (next to Mt. Lindsey).

Hiking when possible

Hell, Michigan
My brother lives in an adjacent town, has been through Hell numerous times.
When I visit him, he makes sure I go thru Hell with him.

Re: Great Place Names
Michigan also has Paradise in the Upper Peninsula, so you can drive from Paradise to Hell in a day - or perhaps better, from Hell to Paradise.
But of Michigan’s many quaint town names, the best one is certainly DeTour.

Re: Great Place Names
Spread Eagle [Peak] in the Wet [Mountain] Valley...I could say more but will stop there. Maybe I'll revisit and explain what happens in the wet valley when I descend on Spread Eagle. Okay, I swear I'll stop there.
I know, I am amongst the most mature people here.

What you do is start in Goobertown, head southwest toward Possum Grape. From there it’s a straight shot over to Toad Suck.
I would advise you to skip Monkey Run, it's messy. Stinking Bay is an odorous option. You could slip by Greasy Corner if you have the time.
Some quality time in Romance is always a good option. But from there it’s pretty much downhill. By way of Weiner or Bald Knob you could go through Threeway.
But if you don’t go far enough you might get stuck in Blue Ball, ain’t nobody wants to get stuck there.

Re: Great Place Names
The cure for that is to take a drive up to Paradise, MI.
