Lake of the Clouds

A dramatic overlook can be easily reached by car. Scenic hiking trails also ring the lake.

Porcupine Mountains Ski Area

This ski hill tops others for its incredible view of Lake Superior. In the winter it’s a must-ski destination, but it’s also popular with fall travelers. Chair lift rides, held on September and October weekends during fall color season, give visitors a chance to experience breathtaking views.

Bond Falls

Bond Falls is one of the area’s most-photographed waterfalls—you’ll see why when you visit this scenic stop near Paulding. The falls form a series of cascades that’s especially dramatic under a crisp fall sky. If you feel like a hike, follow the mile-long trail that loops the falls.
