My husband and I married on Sept 22. We toured the UP for our honeymoon. Having grown up in lower Michigan it was a real experience to be able to go to the higher side of the state. We started our trip by staying on Mackinaw Island for the night. The view on the ferry was unbelievable. We took the ferry to Mackinaw Island and stayed in the Chippews Hotel. We spent the night walking the shops and dining and then returned to the hotel to sit in the hot tub overlooking the lake. It was absolutely breathtaking. The next morning we woke up and went to Fort Mackinac on the island. We toured that and had a great time going back in history. We also rode a tandem bike around the side of the island until noon when we boarded a ferry back to the mainland. We arrived and immediately went to Colonial Michilimackinac. That was great seeing the cannon fired, and the musket demonstrations. Next, we preceded onto the Castle Rock, always a great way to spend time, but a little taxing on the legs. The view is amazing though. Next we went to the Mystery Spot for fun, and it was. Everyone should do this just to be able to say that you have. We then took our trip to Newberry. While a quaint town, it literally contains a prison, IGA, and Timber Charlies along with the Newberry Falls Hotel. Which is a little like the shining. :) We took off from Newberry and went to Taqhmenom Falls, also better known as Heaven on Earth The trail was fabulous and the falls spectacular. The natural beauty will never,ever be topped. The best part is at the lower falls you can rent a boat for 3 dollars and paddle around the falls. We then headed to Munising to experience an underwater glass bottom shipwreck boat tour. That was great. Later in the day we took the boat tour along Picture Rock Lakeshore. It was a great trip and alot of fun. We also drove along the lakeshore ourselves. A recommendation would be to stay in the Holiday Inn-Munising. It sits on the top of the hill at the edge of town overlooking Munising Bay. It is also brand new and fabulous on the insidee. After two days in Munising we headed to Ontanogan to the Porcupine Mountains. The most beautiful site that I have ever seen. You must walk the interpretive trail for miners. It follows the route of an old copper mine along a gorge. It is simply breathtaking. Really there are no words to describe it. Other points of interest include Sea Shell City in Cheboygan, and any signs you see for scenic overlooks. There really is no other place like the Upper Penisula

Staying at Crooked Lake is so nice. 6 Cabins are on Crooked lake , Sandy beach, great fishing lake , Playground for the kids, relaxing, peaceful,and friendly. We have our family reunion there .It's perfect , take all 6 cabins and the whole family gets to spend time with each other.  It's location is in Clare County.  It's just a short drive ,they have , snowmobile trails across the road, boats, bait shop, snowmobile rentals, their cabins are completely furnished . I just have to bring my clothes ,food . It makes a vacation very affordable . They have something for everyone.

Gorgeous! After living in Michigan for many years and never seeing the Upper Peninsula, I had to go and enjoy it in the fall. The trees were beautiful and the UP is a relaxed and wonderous place to visit. We stayed in Paradise right on Lake Superior and enjoyed Tahquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks, Munising and their local waterfalls, Grand Marais, Whitefish Point and driving around Lake Superior. We really enjoyed our visit the weekend of October 3-5, 2008. Don't wait to go!!! Get up there and enjoy =)
