Trip # 112
Hiking the Central UP
There are many areas that offer outstanding hiking opportunities in the Central
Upper Peninsula and that will result in a day well spent up here.
Namely, Grand Island and the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Munising
and in Marquette Sugarloaf and Hogsback Mountains. Grand Island and Pictured
Rocks are all day adventures while Sugarloaf and Hogsback are shorter, about
3 hours each.
Hikers will want to check out the portion of the North Country Trail that
cross Marquette County on its way from New York to North Dakota. Beautiful
overlooks from Hogback Mountain and scenic shoreline along Wetmore's Landing
are two of the highlights. Another popular spot includes the McCormick Wilderness
north of Michigamme.
The Noquemanon Trail Network provides an interconnected trail system through
Marquette County. Two of the trails for hikers and bikers include the Noquemanon
Trail and the Harlow Lake Pathway extending from Tourist Park in Marquete
north to the Harlow Lake recreation area.
Value Cost: guided trips $200 for 2 people per day.
Persons 3-6 $50.
Note: Hiking Trips can also be accomplished unguided.
