About Baraga County, Michigan

Of the many attractions of Michigan's Upper Peninsula perhaps no region enjoys as many as Baraga County and its immediate environs.  This is a county rich in natural beauty enhanced by the change of seasons which provide something for everyone. 

The focal point of the region is spectacular Lake Superior, a major reason for the migration of people to this area seeking the ideal retirement site or vacation hideaway.  One never tires of looking at or being near the "The beautiful Lake Superior."  In addition to Lake Superior, dozens of smaller lakes provide opportunity for boating, fishing, swimming or time spent near the water.

Spring brings brings the thaw of the many beautiful waterfalls, including those on the Sturgeon River, Silver River, and Falls River, which runs through L'Anse.  In early May, the revitalized Huron River provides  some of the best steelhead fishing in the Upper Peninsula.  Spring's promise of wildflowers and fruit of great variety includes lupine, daisies, queen anne's lace, wood lily, black-eyed susan and apples, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and thimbleberries.   Newly arrived fawns with their ever-watchful mothers are also evident.

Summer sometimes takes a while arriving, but is worth the wait.  Every Thursday evening, open-air concerts feature regional artists in downtown L'Anse's newly developed waterfront on Keweenaw Bay.  Bring your lawn chair or blanket and sit back to enjoy the music. 

In the fall, Baraga County's color rivals that of any place in the country.  Visit the Skanee area or Pt. Abbaye for a true panorama of color.
