Baraga County, Michigan

Baraga County is up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It’s perched right on the shores of Lake Superior, giving you a front-row seat to some seriously stunning Great Lakes scenery.
People come here year-round. Summers are for hiking, fishing, and soaking up the sun on sandy beaches. The county’s named after Frederic Baraga, a 19th-century missionary who left his mark on the area.
From the rushing waterfalls of Sturgeon River Gorge to the ancient rock formations of Mount Arvon (Michigan’s highest point), there’s no shortage of natural wonders. Just remember to pack your bug spray.
