Lighthouses attract visitors all along the shores of the Great Lakes, and especially in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. There are over 40 lighthouses on our shores. Eight lighthouses welcome visitors with museums and interpretive displays. You can learn more about the Great Lakes and the men who sailed her inland seas at maritime museums and a shipwreck museum. Take a glass-bottom boat tour and see the submerged decks of shipwrecks as the boat drifts over them.
Scuba divers can dive among the numerous wrecks in the Upper Peninsula's five underwater preserves.
Summer is berry picking time, especially for mouth-watering wild blueberries. You can almost taste the blueberry pie as you bend to pull another handful of the berries from the bush. Other Upper Peninsula berries include thimbleberries, raspberries, blackberries and sugarplums. Thimbleberries are so popular that some candy shops use them for making flavorful fudge. Each community entices visitors with a line-up of summer festivals and sports events.
