Welcome to
Baraga County, Michigan There is a lot to discover and much to savor when you visit Baraga County in the U.P. of Michigan. Nestled on the southern tip of Keweenaw Peninsula of Lake Superior, our large landscape stretches down into the Ottawa National Forest. You surely won’t want to miss the breathtaking Canyon Falls and Gorge, nicknamed the “Grand Canyon of Michigan,” or the views from Mt. Arvon – Michigan’s highest point! Drive the twisty dirt road up Abbaye Peninsula to see the soul-stirring vistas of Point Abbaye’s sandstone shelf, Keweenaw Bay and the distant Huron Islands. If you treasure fall colors, Point Abbaye and the Skanee area will rival any “leaf peeping” place in the nation. The Huron River offers some of the best steelhead fishing in the U.P. Craig Lake State Park, Michigan’s most remote state park, offers you a chance to see moose! A 7.5-mile portion of the 4,200-milelong North Country National Scenic Trail cuts through Baraga County.
