Chippewa County, Michigan

Chippewa County sits at the eastern edge of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, bordering two of the Great Lakes. It’s a land of wild beauty and ruggedness.
Sault Ste. Marie is the county seat and is home to the famous Soo Locks. Forests blanket much of the landscape. Locals fish for whitefish and perch in the summer.
Winters are long and snowy. No matter the time of year, hikers still go to Tahquamenon Falls State Park. The county’s history is steeped in Native American and French Canadian culture.
