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.
No trip here would be complete without a visit to the Soo Locks. They are one of the largest and busiest engineering achievements in the northern hemisphere. From May through October you have an opportunity to book a cruise in order to experience firsthand the massive amount of ships that pass through the locks each day. Lighthouse cruises, dining cruises, and fireworks cruises are available.
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.
If you have the time, you should consider taking an Agawa Canyon train tour. The scenery is exceptional, especially in the fall when leaves are turning. Scheduled stopovers are planned during the summer and fall months so visitors will be able to spend an hour or so hiking the trails in the wilderness park.
After you have spent the day in the great outdoors, you might want to take some time enjoying yourself at the gaming tables provided by Kewadin Casino. There are several of these casinos located throughout Michigan that people visit to try their luck. If gambling is not your interest, the DreamMakers Theater, located inside the establishment, usually has a headliner for visitors to enjoy.
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.
Vacationing in northern Michigan is a special experience. It will make you appreciate just what an amazing world we live in.
