Visit the Ottawa!
Experience the beauty and solitude of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

The area is rich in wildlife viewing opportunities; breathtaking views of rolling hills dotted with lakes, rivers and waterfalls; and spectacular fall colors. But you have to see it to believe it--come visit the Ottawa!
