Standing guard over Lake Superior’s Partridge Bay, Sugarloaf Mountain offers visitors one of the most spectacular views along the Upper Peninsula coastline of Michigan State. You can reach the summit (470 feet above Lake Superior) via a 3,200-foot trail consisting of a cleared pathway and sections of stairway, and although it is quite steep, it is considered an easy hike that will only take you around 20 to 30 minutes.

Along the way, you will see a beautiful forest canopy formed by century-old trees, and at the summit you will be rewarded by wonderful views of Lake Superior, Marquette, Presque Isle Park and Hogsback Mountain.
