Presque Isle Park - Rice Paddy car picnic while watching the waves

Presque Isle Park

Gorgeous views, breathtaking shoreline, perfect place for a picnic. So many spots to pull off and…read moresee a different type of view. From the cliff-like edges to the dark lava-like rock structures near Blackrocks, it's all a must-see. You could spend a whole day here in the summer no problem. Go hunting for beach glass along the rocky beaches, grab a bench and watch the waves, build a sandcastle on the beach, take a drive around the loop, there's endless ways to enjoy the park and all it has to offer. No hammocking, no dogs (from what I saw on the signage), and be prepared for wind while on the shorelines. Still a 10/10 and the best "park" I've been to.

What a great Urban Park! Presque Isle Park is a large public park that is a peninsula overlooking…read moreLake Superior. The park is easily accessible by car, bike or foot. My dad and I walked around the whole thing and according to my fitbit I had 3.5 miles but we did a lot of side walking too. We parked in the front near the lighthouse alongside of an ore dock. The iron ore docks were cool to see as they are unique to this part of the country. From there we walked out to the lighthouse and checked it out before starting off on the trail. The cliffs over looking Lake Superior and black rocks along the route were really cool to take in. Be careful though as these cliff rocks are known to go crashing in to Lake Superior. I'd say it's almost 3 miles to walk all the way around. There were tons of picnic tables and pavilions but not sure for getting the pavilions work in terms of renting them or if it's 1st come 1st serve. I also saw 2 kayak/canoe vans with trailers but didn't anyone kayaking or canoeing so not sure if that's an option near by.

After moving here from the bike-friendliest spot in America (often tied for first with Portland,…read moreyes I know), I was yearning for a great trail to just ride; no cars, consistent surface and lots of scenery. The Iron Ore Heritage Trail (IOHT) does not disappoint. With equal parts of nature and history, it's a great destination for walkers, riders, joggers, kids and families. While not completely paved, the crushed aggregate is easily navigated on my city bike. I went out yesterday after a night of rain and the path was in great shape (surprise!). Folks in the area are very proud of this trail and rightfully so. It's beautiful and fun, a treasure for all ages to enjoy.

The Iron Ore Heritage Trail is a 47 Mile long multi-use trail that runs along Lake Superior and…read moredeep into the forests throughout Marquette County in Upper Michigan. The trails (which are basically the old railways that were used to move ore to the kilns along the lake) are now used for recreation such as hiking and biking. Along Lake Superior it passes through many parks and beaches with amazing views. There are also places to eat, shop or have a drink along the trail (at least in Marquette). I have only been on the trails in Marquette, which is a small portion of the 47 miles, but according to the information available online or at most touristy spots, there are plenty on other sights, foods and history to take in along the rest of the trail. All free!
