Hancock is the northernmost city in Michigan and has strong Finnish heritage which is evident in the annual midwinter festival - Heikinpäivä - and the many street signs printed in both English and Finnish and the Finlandia University.
Hancock is connected to Houghton by the Portage Lake Lift Bridge, which is the heaviest aerial lift bridge in the world. Every summer Hancock plays host to the International Frisbee Tournament.
