General

What’s the situation in Michigan and the Upper Peninsula right now?

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services in early October issued an emergency order limiting capacity at non-residential venues and requiring face coverings at businesses and other locations. See more information here.

What does that mean for travel? Can I come to the Porcupine Mountains and Ontonagon County?

Many of the lodging properties, restaurants and stores in the region are open to customers but may have restrictions in place. Please check with individual businesses you’re planning to visit to learn more.

Have there been any COVD-19 cases in Ontonagon County?
