Marquette

Marquette is located in the Upper Peninsula near Lake Superior and has several parks, two prominent beaches, and plenty of recreational opportunities such as golf and fishing in the summer and skiing in the winter. Over 150 miles of picturesque trails are available for biking, running, and hiking.

Hike some of the area's top waterfalls as the weather warms up in the spring, such as Yellow Dog Falls, Dead River Falls, and Morgan Falls. In the summer, hike up Thomas Rock or Mt. Marquette to work up a sweat (both offer equally scenic viewpoints in the fall). Take a plunge in one of the local lakes or relax in the sand at Little Presque Beach.
