Baraga County, MI

Sometimes the best path to choose is not the easiest. In Baraga County that rings true again and again. But reaching

places such as Canyon Falls in the rugged and remote “Grand Canyon of Michigan” is worth a half of day of adventuring

to bring home a lifetime of memories. There are times when you want to spend your vacation in manmade resorts elbow-to-elbow

with people. And then there are other times when you want to go to the places that inspired those human-architected amusement

and waterparks. When you long for the real thing, pack your backpack or suitcase and come to Baraga County.

Gogebic County, MI

With its boundless, unspoiled wilderness sprinkled with expansive waterways, Gogebic County lets you unplug

from the ceaseless distractions of daily life. Located as far west as you can go in Michigan, it is within a few

hours drive of cities in northern Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, giving you and your family a perfect path to

reconnect with nature. This is your wilderness getaway. Escape to the Gogebic Iron Range that made iron mining so

important to this area. Lace up your boots and explore the million-acre Ottawa National Forest or enter the western gateway to

the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Because Gogebic County is within the Central Time Zone, you’ll have lots of

daylight to fit in all your adventuring.

Houghton County, MI

With the promise of work and fortune, thousands of Finnish and Cornish immigrants came to mine copper on the

Keweenaw Peninsula. You can immerse yourself in their and other cultures in Houghton County—and pursue

your own dreams across our land and waters. Thousands of years before European settlers arrived, ancient peoples

hunted, fished, and mined copper in the Keweenaw Peninsula. In the mid-1800s, thousands of dreams poured into the

pristine woods and coastlines to seek the precious mineral. Generations later, their spirit of adventure, desire for knowledge

and innovation, and joy in life are yours to experience all year in Houghton County.

Iron County, MI

Outdoor enthusiasts seeking the best nature offers can find it everywhere in Iron County. It’s hours of wholesome

fun for your whole family – a good “fresh air” experience for your children – and an easy time for your wallet. Why

spend a single day at an expensive theme park when you can spend the whole week here? With half of all property in

Iron County available for hunting and recreation, you are never far from your perfect outdoor spot. In fact, you can start

in town and be far away from everything in just a minute. Find fishing so plentiful that you couldn’t fish all of our locations in

an entire lifetime … golfing at George Young Recreational Complex… skiing at Ski Brule … plus this is a mecca for ORV and

ATV riders. Iron County is big on hosting events, too, from bucking broncos to massive fungi that will bring you back for more memories.

Keweenaw County, MI

Some places defy words to describe them. Keweenaw County is one of those. As far north as you can go in

Michigan, you’ll be rewarded for taking the time to get there with picturesque harbor towns, hauntingly

rugged coastlines and stories of our copper mining past that invigorate your spirit. This place stays in your

heart forever. Keweenaw County, located at the northernmost tip of Michigan, is where Lake Superior and the earth

live in breathtaking harmony. Since ancient times people have come here, drawn by the native copper whose lure in the mid-1800s

swelled the population by tens of thousands seeking their fortunes. You can relive memories of the Copper Rush in the county’s

ghost towns, exhibits at Fort Wilkins Historic State Park or guided tours at the Delaware Mine in Delaware.

Ontonagon County, MI

Often popular resort areas are crowded with people. Not here. At any given time, there are probably fewer

People vising Ontonagon County than living on a city block. This openness and quiet takes some getting used to,

but once you do, it cleanses you from life’s stresses. Whatever your interests are, from hiking to history, fishing to

hunting, snowshoeing to snowmobiling, or waterfall bagging to mining, you’ll refresh your inner spirit here. Ontonagon County

is home to the Porcupine Mountains, 1,200 miles of free-running streams and rivers, and pristine Lake Superior beaches. You can also

enjoy the mighty Lake Gogebic, plus dozens of smaller inland lakes and thousands of acres of virgin forest.

Chippewa County, MI

Michigan was born in Chippewa County. But it’s not just historians who navigate here. People travel a few hours

from downstate or from across the world to discover things they can’t experience anywhere else… things here for

centuries that will be here for centuries more. Visit and make your own lasting memories. You’ll find so much to do

in Chippewa County, you’ll need to plan a return trip… or two! Soo Locks. Historic sites. Fishing. Golfing. Snowmobiling.

Three casinos. Drummond Island with its natural beauty and affordable activities. You’ll never run out of fun.

Luce County, MI

You will hear the thunderous water long before you reach the lookout that brings you within feet of the

Upper Tahquamenon Falls, the second-largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi. The thousands of gallons

of water cascading over its 50-foot precipice every second will mesmerize you. When you come to the

U.P., locals will often suggest seeing the Upper Tahquamenon Falls State Park, feel the cool spray, watch rainbows

dance above the water… or visit when snow blankets the falls and listen to the ice crack. But these splendid falls are only

one of many reasons to stay here.

Mackinac County, MI

There are places that have a deep impact on your inner spirit. And whatever it is your first time or the

thousandth time to cross the Mackinac Bridge to the Upper or Lower Peninsula of Michigan, your heart will soar.

At 5 miles from end to end, it is the third-longest suspension bridge in the world. It is also the shortest distance to the

best of times. Ask anyone who has crossed the Straits of Mackinac, the body of water that separates Lake Michigan from Lake

Huron, and you will be told something mysterious will happen within you. As you enter the U.P. your heart will suddenly feel freer.

Adventurous. Happy. Cross the Straits… and stir your soul.

This directory, “Community and Economic Profiles for

Michigan’s Upper Peninsula” lists 2014 and 2015 county

data for each of the fifteen counties of the U.P. It showcases

the major exporters, the major employers, the educational

opportunities, and the cultural and recreational opportunities

of each county. 2014 and 2015 data is featured because

2016 data is not finalized until June of 2017. Individual

county profile sheets and infographics can be printed off at
