LAKE SUPERIOR CIRCLE ROUTE
AUGUST 09th – 14th, 2023
Lake Superior the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, holding 10% of the worlds surface fresh water. The lake is majestic in scenic beauty, rich in history and stories which we will hear through our activities and visiting around this unique circle, we have the privilege of exploring over the next 6 days.
Wednesday, August 09th – We depart WalMart at 8:00 am and begin our tour by crossing over the border into the State of Michigan, travelling along the south shore of Superior. Since time is needed to take in an activity on the lake today our drive to Munising is not along the lakeshore, but through the scenic wilderness on the best highway for the area. In Munising, we will have an included box lunch just for our group as we cruise along the "Pictured Rocks Park" to take in the views on Lake Superior. At the end of our cruise, we will drive more along the shoreline and have a break in Marquette before continuing our drive for our first overnight in Houghton Michigan. Again, with limited roads along the shore we take the fastest route which includes the shore of the Keweenawa Bay to Houghton. After check in at the Holiday Inn Express before an included dinner we will have a drive along the river to the "Mclain Park" on the Shores of Lake Superior.
