far from ore-dinary One of Marquette’s most iconic landmarks is the Lower Harbor Ore Dock. A stone’s throw from downtown Marquette, this mammoth structure in Lake Superior represents the city’s maritime and mining past. While no longer in use, this concrete and steel relic once played an active part in Marquette’s daily iron ore trade. Today, it’s the perfect spot for a classic Marquette photo-op. If you’re looking for a unique pastime while in town, take a moment to watch a freighter loading iron ore pellets at Marquette’s Upper Harbor Ore Dock. Built in 1912, the Presque Isle Dock, as it’s also referred to as, is still in use today.
