When you cross over the Mackinac Bridge into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, it’s like you’re in a whole new world. Pine trees line the roads, the air is clean and crisp, and the pace of life is a bit more relaxed. It would be easy to spend an entire week and still miss some of the wonderful things to do in the UP. With 1,700 miles of shoreline, the UP offers some of the most beautiful adventures you’ll ever have. Driving along the peninsula’s southern coast on Highway 2 or finding your way along the northern Lake Superior coastline will lead you to some breathtaking beaches and amazing small towns.
