Sugarloaf Mountain is a 470-foot granite peak near the city of Marquette, located along the Upper Peninsula's Lake Superior coastline. The mountain is the most popular of three regional overlook sites, maintained as a visitor site by Marquette County. It is accessible via a series of 304 wooden stairs that embark from the site's parking lot, with three lookout platforms available at the peak for stunning views of the region's Great Lakes shoreline and landmarks such as Ore Dock, the Superior Dome, and Presque Isle Park. Visitors may also hike up the mountain's backside using a moderately-strenuous several-mile hiking route that is accessible from a parking lot near Wetmore Landing.
