Munising is a charming Upper Peninsula city located on the banks of Lake Superior within the glorious Hiawatha National Forest. The vibrant small town is best known as the gateway to beautiful Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and the Grand Island National Recreation Area, which offer amazing opportunities for year-round outdoor recreation. Visitors can hike to more than 15 waterfalls throughout the area or enjoy excellent opportunities for mountain biking, backpacking, kayaking, canoeing, horseback riding, and fishing throughout the year. More than 200 inches of snowfall blanket the region each year, making it a paradise for snowmobilers and cross-country skiers. Cruise ships and glass-bottom boats offer offshore perspectives of the region's beautiful scenery and explore various shipwreck sites.
