The
chilly north winds sweep over the rolling waves of beautiful Lake
Superior creating the lake effect snows that blanket Marquette County
in North Central Upper Michigan. More than 200 inches of powdery
white fluff combined with over 750 miles of smooth, wide, picturesque
trails entice snowmobilers to enjoy the splendor this area provides.
From
Big Bay south, Trail 5 is teeming with wildlife and wilderness for
nature lovers to behold as they travel to Cheapen, Republic, and
on to Sagota. In Champion Trail 5 intersects with Trail 8 offering
a journey west towards Michigamme and Three Lakes, or east to Ishpeming,
Negaunee and Marquette. This area has ample fine dining, lodging
and fuel stops in addition to pleasant scenery and friendly people
waiting to welcome you.
South
from Marquette, Trail 8 wanders to Gwinn where it turns east to
Chatham before continuing on to Munsing, a popular snowmobiling
destination located on Lake Superior. Excellent opportunities to
capture photos of the majestic beauty of this region or of the bountiful
wildlife, which inhabit this winter wonderland, are available. Be
sure to stop and see the huge ice formations found at the Pictured
Rocks National Shoreline and Trail 417 as it leads you west to Munising
along the impressive shore of Lake Superior.
Marquette
County is a snowmobiler’s delight as they offer lucky riders
a warm welcome to come share the splendor of Michigan’s North
Central Upper Peninsula. Delicious food choices ranging from a steaming
bowl of chili to take the chill out, to a juicy steak dinner to
fill the void after a long day of riding await riders. Warm, cozy
lodging accommodations are available throughout the region.
