General presentation
Marquette
Small town of Lake Superior, cliffs, lighthouse and culture of the upper peninsula.
Almost Isle Park, Marquette Harbor Light and Sugarloaf Mountain give Marquette the most telling landmarks. Together they form a destination where urban life, shores and lakes and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Presque Isle Park
In Presque Isle Park, we cross a long advance of land that gently splits Lake Superior, with shaded alleys, rocks and regular openings on the shore. The place is read well in slow steps, between atmosphere of coastal neighborhood and impressions of isolation.
Place indismissible
Marquette Harbor Light
The lighthouse of Marquette Harbor remains active and continues to illuminate the navigation on Lake Superior, directly from the city. Its interest goes beyond the signal: it anchors the port front in the daily life of the navigators and gives an immediate landmark to the walkers of the area.
Nature and landscape
Sugarloaf Mountain
The ascent to Sugarloaf Mountain It is done by stairs and short but supported trails, then a observation platform opens the view on forest, islands and vast lake horizon. The ramp effort remains light compared to the visual reward: a wide panorama, sensitive especially in clear weather.
