Marquette residents couldn’t be happier when they hear Lower Peninsula people say, “Marquette’s too far of a drive” or “It’s too cold and snowy.” It’s misconceptions like these that help keep the lid on one of Michigan’s best tourism secrets. Nestled on the shores of Lake Superior’s rugged and majestic southern coast, Marquette offers a little bit of hipster culture where you’d least expect it: Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. A quirky college-town personality combined with stunning natural assets make Marquette one of Michigan’s premier destinations. Marquette’s food scene is great, and each food truck seems like it’s better than the last. Track down the Burger Bus when you're in town — and put an egg on it! You won’t be disappointed. One of the most common places to find Marquette’s food trucks is parked right outside Blackrocks Brewery. With excellent beer and super chill vibes, Blackrocks is rapidly ascending to elite Michigan brewery status. Outdoors explorers should check out Presque Isle Park (whose ancient rock formations inspired Blackrocks Brewery’s name) or Little Presque Isle for some absolutely epic hiking along the shores of Lake Superior. Prefer biking? Trail riding, pedaling around town, or cruising the city’s east coast, which is lined with miles of beautiful sandy beach, are all exceptional ways to spend a day. On the cannabis tip, Northern Michigan University’s Medicinal Plant Chemistry Program — the first of its kind in the nation — is poised to be an industry driver for years to come. Cannabis is part of the Marquette region’s social fabric in a way we have yet to see below the bridge. The offering of edibles to random bar patrons (true story and a great night), the sharing of a joint on a waterfall hike — this cool city and its sublime surroundings are made for cannabis. Marquette is high on cannabis enthusiasts’ list. And now there’s even more reason to head up for a visit: Dunegrass’ newest location is open at 100 Genesee St. Plan your trip, pay a visit, and tell them Nick and Eric from Traverse City sent you.
