Scenic roadways and breathtaking mountain drives await you in the Western Upper Peninsula. Take a ferry boat to Isle Royale National Park, the largest, oldest and only island national park in the continental United States. If you like to backpack, or just take a walk, visit the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park and enjoy the “million dollar view,” Lake of the Clouds.
