The growing warmth after spring in Tahquamenon Country lures visitors outside, inviting them to explore historical attractions, forested trails, waterfalls and the Lake Superior shoreline under pleasant sunshine. The change in temperature means there are several more places to visit in Michigan in summer.
Each summer, Whitefish Point mingles wildlife spotting with history. Plan your trip to the Shipwreck Museum to learn about haunting Great Lakes tales and see restored Lightkeepers’ Quarters and Lifeboat Station Surfboat House, too. The museum also displays the bell from the famous Edmund Fitzgerald shipwreck. While visiting, you’re likely to see bird species that fly through the Whitefish Point Bird Observatory. This land doubles as acreage on the Seney National Wildlife Refuge. Research takes place year-round as birding experts flock to the area. There are even a few owl banding events throughout the summer!
Of course, you cannot come this far without at least dipping your toes into one of the Great Lakes. Though it has a reputation for being the chilliest of the five Great Lakes, Lake Superior is also the perfect cool down when the sun is beating on you during the day. Take a dip, fish the waters and spot some Upper Peninsula lighthouses depending on where you are at!
