Michiganders are lucky to live in a state with so many beautiful outdoor adventures to be had. Whether you’re a hiking enthusiast, a swimmer, or even a nature photographer, there’s certainly some part of the Great Lakes State that brings you joy. But there’s one way to view our state’s natural beauty that many people aren’t aware of, and it’s tucked away in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This trolley tour in Michigan truly belongs on your bucket list… let’s take a look!
Located off of State Highway M-28, approximately 15 miles east of Newberry, sits the small town of Soo Junction, Michigan.
It’s here where you’ll find the incredible Tahquamenon Falls Train and Riverboat Tours. This family-owned business, which has been in operation since 1927, will show you a side of our state in a totally new, unique way.
Along the way, you’ll spot all sorts of amazing wildlife — from bears to wolves to moose! Don’t forget to look up, too: hawks and other fascinating birds can also regularly be seen in the vicinity.
Your trolley ride runs along five and a half miles of a narrow gauge railway, letting you get up close and personal with the magnificent sights. Lions and tigers and bears -- oh my!
If you choose the day trip package from Soo Junction, you’ll continue on to a tour aboard the Hiawatha Riverboat, a charming vessel which will take you all the way to the breathtaking Tahquamenon Falls.
This charming trolley ride and its accompanying boat tour make for a once-in-a-lifetime excursion that you simply won’t find anywhere else in the state of Michigan.
