Any must see areas in Northern Michigan & Great Lakes?
Thinking of going up that way near Canada and Minnesota.

I agree with all of the postings but want to again mention stopping at the Soo Locks. I thought it was neat experience to see the freighter go through the locks. Boats don't go through all of the time so it's a good idea to coordinate your visit with a time when a boat is passing through. It takes about 30 minutes but was very neat to see. Believe it or not, my children did not care for this at all. It was too slow of a process for them (and perhaps being Michigan natives seeing a freighter is not a novel experience), but all of the adults enjoyed it and sometimes, just sometimes, kids have to wait for what the adults want. ;-)
Just fyi- each year is different, but we were in the UP last July. It was 38 degrees at night and we wore gloves and made hot chocolate. Also, when we stayed at Tahquamenon Falls the mosquitoes were horrendous; even came into the sealed closed camper. Bring a gallon of bug spray and winter clothes.
Have a great trip.
