Michigan encourages visitors to travel to the northernmost regions of the state. There is spectacular scenery to be enjoyed every season of the year. The twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Ontario are separated the St. Mary's River and connected by an international bridge. The upper peninsula has so much to see and do that the choices will impress even the most sophisticated travelers.
The Soo Locks are one of this area's most popular attractions. From the observation decks, you can get an up close look at large tugs, barges, and freighters that travel through here, but the best way to really appreciate this amazing feat of engineering is by boarding ship yourself for one of the day trips offered. You can choose from lunch and dinner cruises, lighthouse cruises, and even fireworks cruises.
Tahquamenon Falls is another site of amazing beauty. If you have the chance, you should visit both the upper and lower levels. They are completely different, but are equally impressive. These waterfalls are larger than any other you will find east of the Mississippi River. There are plenty of hiking trails and paths to explore. If you get hungry, the brewery has delicious menu items to choose from.
Something else most people never get to witness are the actual remains of shipwrecks. There are sites located in several areas in Lake Superior. Some are accessible to scuba divers. What is left is often scattered over a large area of the lake floor. If you are interested in this type of maritime history, but diving is not for you, you can take a glass bottom boat tour. There is at least one old wooden ship resting just under the water and clearly visible to visitors.
Train tours are always fun and a great way to see a lot of this region in a short amount of time. The Agawa Canyon has train tours when weather permits. There are even stops along the way for people to get out and spend an hour or two hiking through the wilderness park.
After a long day of hiking and sightseeing, you might want to relax and try your luck at the Kewadin Casino. You could stay at the hotel here, which is affordably priced, while you hit the gaming tables or enjoy some of the top country entertainment that is regularly booked in the DreamMakers Theater. There is also a lounge that books excellent entertainers and has comedy and karaoke nights.
The Northern Lights are a naturally occurring phenomenon visible in this area. They appear as a result of certain activity on the sun, but just when and where they show up is anybody's guess. Spring and fall are the seasons the light show most often appears. A lot of people do online research to see if conditions will be right when they are in the area.
This section of the country has so much natural beauty from the lakes to the mountains and everywhere in between. If you have the opportunity, you should really try and spend some time here.
