Hikers have many choices, from a leisurely stroll through the woods to the North Country National Scenic Trail that stretches through the Upper Peninsula after crossing the Mackinac Bridge to wandering along Lake Superior's south shore. Michigan's Upper Peninsula is nature's water park for boaters, with a marina in most lakeside communities. You can sail, canoe, kayak, paddle boat, and take to the lakes and rivers in other water toys. Or you can board a raft for special thrills riding the rapids on some of our rivers. Upper Peninsula outfitters can equip you for your favorite outdoor sport, and provide delivery and pick-up services.
Swimmers find inland lakes comfortably warm and Lake Superior's waters invigorating.
Freshwater dunes are fun to climb. Michigan's Upper Peninsula has more than 40 public courses. Courses are scenic, challenging, and less crowded than most other areas. You will find 19 state parks from which to choose. All except one offer campgrounds and all except two offer fishing opportunities.
