Most Michiganders have enjoyed a few visits to the Upper Peninsula. Whether you’ve perused the sights and sounds of Marquette or marveled at the Mackinac Bridge from St. Ignace, there’s no beating the beauty of our U.P. But there’s one town in the northern region of the Great Lakes State that stands alone as a truly unique and gorgeous destination.
Tucked away along the shores of Lake Superior, Munising is a truly adorable town.
