Beautiful place to stretch your legs. The walking path has rocks, roots and loose boards. Lots of photo opportunities.

If I didn’t have three young kids with me, I would’ve stopped to pray. Bishop Baraga’s story is really neat, and the statue is truly a work of art. Worthy of a stop while passing through! The views are stunning.

Beautiful area, beautiful scenery. Some hiking trails nearby. We didn't do any as we got there late and only stayed one night. Cute town, friendly people.

Everyone else has done a good job in describing what it takes to get to the summit, and the maps to get there available online were most helpful. I'll add just a few succinct comments; 1) From downtown L'Anse the summit of Arvon is approx 30 miles. The first 16 miles (from downtown to the church) is paved, good quality road. The last (approx) 14 miles is gravel/dirt road. The last 10 miles of that 14 is poorer quality road...watch for holes and/or rocks protruding from the road (they would be the biggest threat to tires and low clearance vehicles). At about the 9.5 mile mark of the dirt road segment you will come upon the trailhead for the hike up to and around the summit. A half a mile more from the hiking trailhead will be the cleared area to park your car, and then it's a 30 yard easy walk up to the summit. Well marked when you get to this point. 2) Concur with everyone's description of road conditions. We went up in mid-October, after a day of rain and snow in the area. Anything less than dry road conditions and I would not recommend a passenger sedan. However, a small SUV (CR-V, RAV 4, etc. with AWD) and larger, especially with mud and snow tires, will handle the road fine, just go slow. If snow is on the ground...wait until Spring. If you slide off the road or get stuck, it's a long walk back to the nearest house. 3) The blue diamond Mt Arvon signs which have been placed all along the route starting at the church are most helpful and reassuring that you are on the right road. The only thing to make them better would be if they would have the distance to go to the summit on each sign. Even in mid-October with a little snow on the ground the leaves still had much color on them and the entire trip had magnificent scenery. Definitely worth the drive, just go slow and cautious.
