Ontonagon County, Michigan

Ontonagon Location Map Michigan

Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has a wild side, and it’s called Ontonagon County. This sprawling expanse of forests, lakes, and rugged shoreline sits right on Lake Superior’s southern edge.

It’s the kind of place where you might see more black bears than people on a given day. The Porcupine Mountains dominate the landscape, offering hikers views that’ll make your Instagram followers jealous.

Locals weather brutal winters and swarms of summer mosquitoes with equal grit. Fun fact: I’ve once seen a local get in a fight with a mosquito here. You’d never guess who won.
