    Hey guys,

    I'm planning a trip up to the UP July 8-12. Planning on spending most of the time in Keneewaw Peninsula and then heading over to Pictured Rocks NL. Any advice as far as must hit spots?

    Also, anyone else up that way that wants to join for a day is welcome!

    you can make a stop here for lunch, dinner or just a cold brew, its a very small town and this place is a 'tourist trap' maybe so guard your wallet!

    i am waiting to make a dead of winter trip that far north sometime, the bartender told me it can get crazy with the lake snow
    maybe there will be a wicked good lake storm while you are there, i ran into a bad one last year around Marquette

    Skip it, head straight to Canada and check out Lake Missinabi! Pike fish right off the dock if no boat, chill with the black bears! Snuggle a moose! And if you got a boat the adventures are epic!

    There are no ferries in/on Missinabi. You talking Isle Royale? Cause that’s a trip I gotta do! Thunder Bay is right off Superior!

    Canyon Falls Roadside Park is a cool little hike just off US41 south of L’Anse. In the Keweenaw there is the Rocket Range and Brockway Mtn Lookout that are neat.
