Things to do around Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

01

Cruise or kayak along the multicolored cliffs and sea caves of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore out of Munising. Boat tours and guided paddles get you close to the formations.

02

Hike between the Upper and Lower Tahquamenon Falls—the Upper Falls are ~200 ft wide and among the largest in the eastern U.S.; the river’s amber “root-beer” color comes from natural tannins.

03

Watch 1,000-foot freighters rise and drop at the Soo Locks in Sault Ste. Marie; the visitor center is free and right beside the action.

04

Ride the self-propelled observation raft over Kitch-iti-kipi (The Big Spring) at Palms Book State Park—Michigan’s largest natural freshwater spring.

Helpful facts before you go

The U.P. is nearly one-third of Michigan’s land but home to about 3% of the population—hello, elbow room.

Whitefish Point Light is the oldest operating lighthouse on Lake Superior, and the point is part of the “Shipwreck Coast” near the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum.

You can often see the Northern Lights here—best chances are August–April, with peaks around April/October/November on clear, dark nights.

Locals are proudly called “Yoopers” (from “U.P.-er”), and the pasty—a handheld meat-and-veggie pie brought by Cornish miners—is a beloved staple
