Class I Lake Superior, MI

Western U.P. Water Trail (Michigan/Wisconsin border to Baraga/Marquette County line )

The Western U.P. Water Trail traverses 319 miles along the southern shore of Lake Superior. Beginning at the Michigan/Wisconsin border, the water trail passes around the Keweenaw Peninsula to the Baraga/Marquette County line. The water trail passes by some of Michigan’s most rugged but beautiful coast line. The water trail connects to the Keweenaw Water Trail, a separate designated paddling loop around and through the Keweenaw Peninsula. On its eastern edge, the water trail is just a short distance from the Hiawatha Water Trail that traverses around the City of Marquette and the famous Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
