Lake Superior is a wonder to behold. It mesmerizes visitors to its shores and leaves no one untouched by its immensity and its grandeur. The native Anishinabe call it "Gichigami" (big water), and Longfellow immortalized the poetic beauty of the waters of "Gitche Gumee" in the "Song of Hiawatha". In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, visitors can enjoy the natural splendor of Lake Superior's coast line - from Whitefish Point, to the Pictured Rocks, to the rugged Keweenaw Peninsula, to Ontonagon and the Porcupine Mountains. Its vast waters hold a vast history of early American explorers and pioneers. Modern day explorers can visit the same lighthouses that safe guarded the journeys of the past and the see the harbors and towns that welcomed explorers home.
