Town of Hell

Go to Hell hungry, and enjoy a meal at the Damn Site Inn (4095 Patterson Lake Rd) or ice cream at I Scream. These are the only activities in town, so plan to enjoy them.

Hell - Official US Weather Bureau. Town Named Hell

The name of the town I visited was Hell, Michigan. There wasn't much to Hell -- a country store and a Halloween/ice cream shop. Neither business had public restrooms, but you could use the port-o-johns on the side of the store.

People in Hell want ice water...

Welcome to Hell sign. Hell, Michigan

Fun town. The Ice Cream/Gift shop is only open on the weekends during the winter according to the very friendly owner. He told us all about the town, the kinds of visitors and tourists he's had and about one of the morning network tv shows being there. I took my 5 year old, who was spooked by the store, so the owner was nice enough to give her the one ring she wanted. He said he doesn't like little kids to be that scared.

He told me about the ice cream sundaes the kids make in the summer, where all the toppings are arranged in the coffin there, and he showed the kids how to turn water into snow.

Detour to Hell sign. Pleasant Detour to Hell

Funny little town. We visited the Ice Cream/Gift Shop and the Dam Site Inn while in Hell. Both were fun, friendly, and just twisted.
