ABOUT ONTONAGON, MICHIGAN
Ontonagon has a population of 1,500 and sits on the shores of Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, nature shows off with towering cliffs overlooking Great Lakes, with sand beaches and forests for as far as you can see. Even the tales are tall, and campfire stories still share legends of super-sized logger Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, or of Hiawatha canoeing the region's “root beer” falls. There are Northern Lights (if not the brightest stars you can remember seeing) in its skies and three Great Lakes bordering its land. Pack your bags and hit the Upper Peninsula (or U.P.) for a variety of activities. Learn more at https://www.michigan.org/article/trip-idea/scenic-places-upper-peninsula-road-trip.
