Things To Do
Hike to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain
One of Hanna's favorite views in the U.P. This is a half mile hike that has quite a bit of stairs but the view is worth the work.
Visit the Presque Isle Blackrocks.
Located in the state park that Logan and Hanna will have their wedding ceremony, this particular spot is a favorite of the couple. Whether you just want to take in the beauty or take the plunge by jumping off the rocks into Lake Superior, a visit here is worth it.
Hike to the top of Hogback Mountain
This is a slightly more challenging day hike that results in gorgeous views (especially in the fall).
Stop in for some amazing ice cream at Jilberts Dairy
Logan and Hanna both have a very serious sweet tooth! One of this couple's favorite things to do is to visit new ice cream parlors together. So stop in and grab a bite.
Hit up the local shops of Marquette
Hit up some of the great local mom and pop shops that downtown Marquette has to offer. So of the bride and grooms favorites are Donkers, Spice Merchants, Getz's, Huron Bakery, Snowbound Books, 906 and Company.
Drive/walk through Lakenland
Lakenland is a free admission sculpture park that resides just outside Marquette off of M-28. This was one of the couples favorite visits when Hanna was living in U.P. It's a 37 acre park that consists of over 100 Scrap metal Sculptures that are loved by the public. Cannot recommend enough for all lovers and non lovers of art. The sculptures are awesome!
Play the Slots at Ojibwa Casino
A small but fun casino located just on the outskirts of Marquette the has over 300 slot machines.
Visit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

Stop at Kitch iti Kipi
On your way up to Marquette from the Lower Peninsula, the couple recommends stopping at Kitch iti Kipi. Kitch iti Kipi is Michigan's largest Natural Spring that is equipped with a supper fun wooden raft that takes you across the crystal clear spring to look at all the trout located in the body of water. This stop was a common one made by the Warren family during the brides childhood.
