A favorite to do in the area, this sculpture park is a unique stop for those traveling to or from the Marquette/Munising area. They do change out the sculptures so make sure you check this fun stop out if visiting annually. Donation is asked but not required.

Great hike, take the difficult path as it is less sets of wood steps, which are hard on knees.Views+

The whole family did it - 17 & 15 yr old boys and a 10 yr old daughter - even Mom & Dad! Really cool and safe jump from about 20 feet into the crystal clear (and refreshingly chilly) Lake Superior waters near Marquette, MI!

Hiked this in Aug 2020 with my dog. I was a little confused at some reviews saying to start in the parking lot on the right side (going up), instead I started in the parking lot on the left side. Had a hard time finding which trail to go, it's actually the trail head for Harlow Lake back out front and just off the main road down from the front parking area. The Hogback trail veers off to the left. There were two marks on the trail, blue dashes on the trees and grey square trail marking. I was thrown off by the grey squares thought I was on the wrong trail. Some of the trail is a little hard to follow but just look for blue dashes on the trees. Be aware the last 1/4 miles is mostly up rocks. Thankfully my dog was a rockstar scaling the rocks, smaller dogs may have a tough time. Be sure to go all the way up, you'll know you're there when you have a 360 degree view If it's warm bring extra water, I used more than I thought I would and it was only 70.

We visited the escape room in June of 2017 with a ladies group from Church. We tried the third grade classroom and made it out! Lots of fun, the girls running it are wonderful and very accommodating, would recommend to anyone looking for fun!

Tried here based on the reviews. The owner and waitstaff are very friendly. I am not much of a sparkling beer/ale drinker and it took a few tastes before I found the one I liked. They actually have a couple of draft beers and one of those is what I liked! The history of the place is interesting. Nice place to sit and visit.

We had an opportunity to visit this UP North gem while on a trip to Marquette. Even with the new restrictions, it was a great place! Great outdoor area with an interior and exterior bar space. The beer selection was well executed, along with merchandise available. If you are in the UP and in need of a good time, please stop by.

This was my favorite hike in northern Michigan so far! You first walk up a hill to a little creek and you think thats the falls at first, but you have to go past the creek, over a big hill and there's a path along the river that has many falls and is so awesome! It's hard at first but keep going! The views are worth it!
