Located on the forested shores of Lake Superior in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Marquette is a four-season destination offering year-round outdoor activities and cultural experiences.

Summers are warm and mild, perfect for hiking, biking, fishing and chasing waterfalls, while autumns are cozy, accented by colorful foliage and hot cups of cocoa.

Winters may be chilly, but that means landscapes covered in snow perfect for fat tire biking, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and snowshoeing.

And if you would rather leave the hiking boots at home, there are also plenty of cultural activities, live performances and other attractions to enjoy.

Head to this sweet hamlet to experience the best of small-town life, but don’t be fooled: Frankenmuth caters to millions of visitors a year and has rich history, great shopping and tons of culture to explore.
