It's a college town, home to Northern Michigan University, with a handful of fine restaurants (try Elizabeth's Chophouse or Capers at the Landmark Inn) and a busy summer social calendar. A revitalized downtown sits just blocks from Lake Superior. Marquette is the Upper Peninsula's largest and finest city. This path can work forward or backward, depending upon your starting point. I've already zigzagged my way across these back roads several times to research the best itinerary. Planned properly, however, the trip will reap plenty of bounty - three of the top 25 public golf courses in Michigan. It will take some driving to find the best of 'Yooper' land. Marie come from Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee, so it's possible to pull off a U.P. Regional flights to Marquette and Sault Ste. come from the bordering regions of Wisconsin, Canada and Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Unfortunately, it's hard to find for most of the civilized world.

It's peaceful, pleasant and pleasing to the eye. This isolated Drummond Island route mirrors Michigan's remote Upper Peninsula in so many ways.
