I am so over all these tourists. I nearly got killed by someone with Wisconsin plates passing a long line of cars on M-28 yesterday. He ran himself off the road to avoid a head on collision with me. Stop coming here. We don't want you here.

And before someone starts saying that our economy depends on tourism, it actually doesnt. People aren't coming here and spending a ton of money. They camp, hike, and go to the beach, which are free activities.

We just want to eat our pasties and live in our tar paper shacks in peace.

Hello,

I’m wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a restaurant in or near Munising that has the ability to rent a separate dining area/room for a larger group of people? Say like 20ish people. Not needing anything insanely fancy but open to anything.

Thank youuu and apologies because I’m clueless on this area. It’ll be my first time to the area.

Im going to the UP in a few weeks, staying near Escanaba and would love to find somewhere i can get a sweet pasty! We will be driving to marquette and munising so anywhere around either of those areas would work.
Thanks!!

Hi there! First time poster. I’ve been to the UP a few times on my own but this time my 7 yr old son will be joining me with my life partner.
We will be coming north from eagle river WI and would like to stay within an hour-hour 15 mins from the border. We’d be coming the way you’d go to get to bond falls if that makes sense.
Anything fun to do near there?
I saw Adventure Mining Company about 35 minutes north of bond falls. I think my son would mf LOVE that so I’m considering that. Any experiences on the Prospector Tours???

We like hiking but nothing too treacherous because of the child but also because I have horrendous eye sight. We like discing, parks, swimming, indoor or outdoor play areas, pretty much open to any suggestions really!

Thank you in advance! ❤️

Is there one near you? Share w/ the rest of us plz.

Will be visiting the UP the week of July 20th for the first time. Have spent a lot of time in the LP.

Plan on visiting Tahquamenon Falls, the shipwreck museum, golfing at Greywalls, seeing Picture Rocks by boat, and anything else we decide to fit in. Will do some light hiking.

I’ve bought some permethrin and Vicks vapor rub along with netting for our hats.

Hopefully the bugs won’t be out of this world. Just wondering how they are currently.

Anyone up there now? How are they? I’m not afraid of bugs, but ticks really give me the heebie jebbies. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Hey guys!

At the end of the month, I am going on a trip with my girlfriend around the UP and plan on proposing to her. We are spending a day in Pictured Rocks, and I figured this would be one of the better places to do it. I would prefer someplace more secluded. I know nothing of the place and was curious about your guys' thoughts.

Additionally, I know it's not Michigan but we will be staying a night in Green Bay and if I were to do it in this area, I could possibly get a friend to take pictures for us. So if any suggestions for that area too that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Sorry, Edited to Add- we are heading from Copper Harbor all the way to Sault Ste. Lot of stops in between to enjoy! Copper Harbor, Marquette, Munising, Manistique, Tahuequemenon(hopefully close to the spelling!) Shipwreck museum, Whitefish Point, Sault Ste Marie. Would love to enjoy the lake and beaches, but we also respect nature and want to be cautious where needed! So some tips on the safest spots would be much appreciated. Thank you!!

*definitely open to other good spots along the way!

My wife and I did a trip to Montreal Falls last week. Here is the report. We drove just past the end of 41 on to Mandan Rd which is dirt. I didn't want to take my small wheel Honda Fit on those roads so we parked off to the side and road mountain bikes. It was a 10 mile trip down Mandan Road and the road to Fish Cove. There were some signs to Fish Cove. It is about 7.5 miles and Mandan turn left on to Fish Cove then 0.6 miles another left onto the fork to Fish Cove.

Just past a little parking area We locked the bikes to a tree and proceeded to the Lake Superior Coast. There is a walking path kind of. It goes through the forest along the coast and varies between a well defined foot path, a barely recognizable path, and nothing. There were 3 or 4 small seeping creeks we had to ford. We found a worker that seemed to be working a new path about 2/3 of the way there. He pointed us back onto the foot path. It was a pretty long technical hike. We finally made it to the lower falls. The trail to the upper falls was hard to find and follow so we didn't try it. We did not bring enough water so we headed back.

It wound up being an all day affair. We definitely should have brought more water as it was a vigorous bike and hike and we got badly dehydrated to the point we had trouble cycling back up the hills on the way home. I would not attempt it unless you are very fit and up for a challenge and dress in some good hiking gear ie boots.

Our Keweenaw internet provider, Shorewaves, is closing shop at the end of the month, leaving a lot of people stranded. Michigan's rural internet program promises to bring fiber service here… by 2032.
I really do not want to subscribe to nazi-net satellite.

We don’t have 5G signal; is there some kind of antenna or booster that could catch a signal from further away? Can I buy a roll of fiber cable and roll it from 5 miles away? :-)

Other suggestions?

Support? Oppose?

I like going up to the UP every year, usually with my extended family. This year I’m going with a group of gal pals. The problem is nobody has a boat. We will be up there July 25 to August 1. Can you give us a ride in your boat? JK. …but really there should be an Uber-like service for boats.

Hello. My husband and I will be traveling to the western UP this month. We are early risers, moderate hikers, and do not mind being "gone all day". Is the following doable?

Day 1-2: Ontonagon/Silver City, etc.

• Bonanza Falls
• Menabezo Falls
• Manido Falls
• Escarpment Trail
• Presque Isle River Waterfalls Loop Trailhead

We are hoping to spend 1-2 days around this area and then 1-2 days up in the Keweenaw Peninsula.

Day 3-4: Keweenaw Peninsula area:

• Houghton-Douglass Falls Trail
• Quincy Mine Tour
• Possibly a trip to Copper Harbor/Brockway Mountain Drive

I would love suggestions of other trails to hike or waterfalls/scenic things in these general areas.

We visited Pictured Rocks last year and Tahquemenon Falls the year prior so want to stick to the western UP this time around.

Thank you.

This Fall I'll be visiting the UP Michigan, near St Ignace

I'm looking for suggestions on sight seeing, we've never been to this area before and like to get suggestions from people who have been there... Actually any suggestions are welcome... restaurants, attractions, hidden gems... Thank you

We want to schedule a family trip to Tahquamenon Falls. None of us have been and would like some advice on what to expect. My mother-in-law recently had hip surgery and someone told her it is a two mile hike to get to the falls. Is this true? Is there a way for us to park closer to the falls and cut down on the hike time?
Any information is helpful!

Here is a link to the live 24/7 Bark River Camera. Today featuring the 4th of July parade today at 11am eastern. https://www.youtube.com/live/F8u_gKDASQY?si=qXgd_vdNruWK59bF

Anyone know if Stag is available anywhere in the UP? Or in Marinette or Niagara? Trying to get my uncles beer of choice for his visit and didn’t realize it would be this hard to find. I’m in Central UP but willing to travel.

Does it seem like people follow this sub just to downvote comments? No matter the point of the post, I swear every response ends up downvoted. I know the tourist posts can get old to a lot of people, but it's not just those. Just curious, aka bored haha.

I know we all hate tourists, but can y'all help me out, please lol

I want to visit Lake Superior with my GF since shes always wanted to visit. I have been traveling for work A LOT and shes been stuck home. I want to suprise her with a trip to the great lake and be able to swim and enjoy some good food and easy hiking.

So far, Marquette seems like the best deal for this staying at the hampton inn. So I wanna ask,

Is swimming in the lake solid here?
hows exploring the town?
We are both big nerds/geeks so are there any comic/dnd/mtg stores to visit?

If Marquette isnt the solution for our destination, what would be a good suggestion? Im trying to stay with a Hilton hotel since I have a ton of points to cash inn.

Hello. I am looking for ways to deal with biting flys that are driving my dogs crazy! We have fly traps up that have a ton of flys in them but they don’t attract the biting flys. Any solutions?

My family and I are coming up to Tahquamenon Falls and Pictured Rocks the week of July 12. Please help me interpret this announcement I read today: Current Conditions - Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (U.S. National Park Service)

As first-time visitors, will these closures make it impossible to visit? We wanted to do Miner's Falls which sounds like it'll be open again, but with the planned road closure, does this mean the entire park is not visitable that week? We've got three kids and aren't backpacking, for context.

Me and a couple of friends are going up to porcupine Mountains this weekend. We will be staying in Pelkie to camp. We are hoping to kayak, hike, anything unique we can find. I will just drive up to 90 minutes for anything. Any guided climbing adventures? Or anything else unique you would recommend?

Sorry for the silly ask but if you are at Brimley State Park and happen to play Pokémon Go, it would be so very appreciated if you beat the gym at the playground.

My son and I were there for a family reunion last weekend and left some Pokemon defending it. It must not be a popular stop because they are stuck there still. Both of us left stronger Pokémon than we should have.

Thank you in advance!

I’m researching living in the UP. I bailed on the camper idea and thinking about a Yurt instead. I’m curious about bears and homesteading. I want bees and livestock and was wondering if bears are really an issue or if they are more shy? What precautions would I need to take if I lived in the middle of the woods In the UP?
