Whether
you're traveling through the Lake Gogebic area on foot,
by car, snowmobile, ATV, canoe, or cross-country skis,
you'll be amazed by the dazzling natural wonders that
surround you. The area's many waterfalls each
possess their own unique beauty, while the mountain
peaks provide breathtaking, panoramic views of the terrain. Spring
and summer find the entire area a vibrant green, while
autumn brings a more varied palette of red, orange,
and gold. And nothing can prepare the visitor
for the pure, sparkling white of winter in Big Snow
Country.
When it comes to man-made sights, Ontonagon County's
rich mining history has left behind many quarries, mines,
and caves for visitors to explore. Snowmobilers,
ATV riders, and hikers can literally follow the story
of the region's lumber industry as they ride down the
old logging roads incorporated into the area's massive
trail system.
For those who prefer to experience a more "living"
kind of history, be sure to visit Old Victoria,
an early mining settlement brought back to life through
restoration. Meanwhile, many of Lake Gogebic and
Ontonagon County's buildings and bridges are listed
on the National Register of Historic Places.
