One of Michigan’s best overlooks is just a short drive from the city of Marquette in the Upper Peninsula. Only six miles away from Marquette’s craft breweries, trendy restaurants, and museums is Sugarloaf Mountain, a 470-foot granite peak right off the shores of Lake Superior. A short, well-maintained hike is all that stands between the parking lot and one of the most picturesque spots in the Great Lakes.
From the parking lot to the outlook and back is a total of approximately 1 mile. Look for the Sugarloaf Mountain sign off of CR 550 for the parking lot. You can learn more about the trail and what else to do in the area here.
