Michigan's Trailhead

Outdoor Adventure
With its boundless, unspoiled wilderness sprinkled with expansive waterways, the Western U.P. lets you unplug from the ceaseless distractions of daily life. Located as far west as you can go in Michigan, it is within a few hours drive of cities in northern Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin, giving you and your family a perfect path to reconnect with nature.

Hike in the Porcupine Mountains or along the North Country Trail. Kayak Lake Superior and the Sylvania Wilderness. Cast a line in Lake Gogebic or take an adventure ride to the top of Copper Peak. Explore miles of scenic mountain bike trails through the Ottawa National Forest. Visit the many majestic waterfalls our area in known for.  The Western U.P. offers outdoor adventure at it's best!

Spring in the Western U.P.  The melting snow, the longer days of sunshine,  the budding of flowers and trees, the awakening forests, and of course, the sound of rushing water cascading into countless streams and rivers...this is our spring time. Late April through early June is ideal for visiting the Western U.P.

New Location!  The Western U.P. is excited about our new location on Lake Street in Ironwood.  Come visit us at 405 Lake Street  Ironwood, MI 49938.
