MarquetteMarquette HistoryThe Marquette area was first settled by Ojibwa Indians who came into contact with french explorer and Jesuit missionary in 1669.

That’s called a “long distance release.”  Hiking the U.P.This photo is uniquely Huron Mountains. It shows a narrow divide between rock ridges with a beaver dam that has captured the spring runoff and rainfall to form a long, narrow pond.

I followed him in my car, snapping photos through the passenger side window. After a few hundred yards he stopped, peeked at me around a tree, and then came straight for the car! There was nothing aggressive about it, through. [...] Read More » Babies are hereFawns have arrived. This little guy was hiding out in the open not ten feet from a cabin where we were meeting a number of contractors. (Interesting — did the doe put him near a cabin as protection from predators? I've found fawns near my own cabin several times.) This one stayed put, as Mama [...] Read More »Upper Peninsula Links U.P. Recreation previous page // www.upwaterfront.com // contact us Disclaimer |
