Dominated by the Cliff Range, the community of Mohawk can be found in the far north of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. During the early 1900's, it was the site of the Mohawk Mining Company and is believed to be the only place where the rare mineral, Mohawkite, was ever found. While mining operations ceased many years ago, Mohawk still holds onto its rich history and offers visitors the chance to dine with locals and explore the great outdoors
