When people are planning vacations, the upper peninsula of Michigan may not be high on their list. Instead of traveling to an amusement park or beach this year, consider booking a trip to the Sault Ste. Marie area. For those unfamiliar with the it, this is where the St. Mary's River separates Canada and the United States. It is where Lake Huron and Lake Superior are located, and it is a place of incredible beauty and diversity.
The Soo Locks are one of this area's most popular attractions. From the observation decks, you can get an up close look at large tugs, barges, and freighters that travel through here, but the best way to really appreciate this amazing feat of engineering is by boarding ship yourself for one of the day trips offered. You can choose from lunch and dinner cruises, lighthouse cruises, and even fireworks cruises.
Tahquamenon Falls is another site of amazing beauty. If you have the chance, you should visit both the upper and lower levels. They are completely different, but are equally impressive. These waterfalls are larger than any other you will find east of the Mississippi River. There are plenty of hiking trails and paths to explore. If you get hungry, the brewery has delicious menu items to choose from.
Not everywhere in the country can offer shipwreck attractions for its thousands of annual visitors. The Manhattan sank in Lake Superior at the beginning of the twentieth century, and there are still remnants at the lake bottom for interested scuba divers to see. You can also book a glass bottom boat tour that will take you to the site of another shipwreck. Amazingly the wreckage is located only a few feet below sea level.
Train tours seem like something travelers did generations ago, but they are available today and a great way to see the countryside from an unusual vantage point. The excursions will take you over trestles and wind their way down to the canyon's floor. This trip is especially popular during the last of September when the leaves are at their maximum color and brilliance.
After you have spent the day in the great outdoors, you might want to take some time enjoying yourself at the gaming tables provided by Kewadin Casino. There are several of these casinos located throughout Michigan that people visit to try their luck. If gambling is not your interest, the DreamMakers Theater, located inside the establishment, usually has a headliner for visitors to enjoy.
The Northern Lights are a naturally occurring phenomenon visible in this area. They appear as a result of certain activity on the sun, but just when and where they show up is anybody's guess. Spring and fall are the seasons the light show most often appears. A lot of people do online research to see if conditions will be right when they are in the area.
This section of the country has so much natural beauty from the lakes to the mountains and everywhere in between. If you have the opportunity, you should really try and spend some time here.
