Located in Michigan’s forested Upper Peninsula on the shores of Lake Superior, Marquette harbors a community distinguished by its natural surroundings —from rushing waterfalls and rock formations to scenic vistas and dense hardwoods.
Boasting a long list of hiking and biking trails, and snowcapped mountains, powdery trails for skiing and snowshoeing – Marquette County offers no shortage of outdoor adventure.
After a day immersed in nature, Marquette’s charming and historic downtown, filled with local breweries, restaurants, and shops lends the perfect spot to unwind and trade stories of adventure.
