Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park

Michigan’s largest state park at nearly 60,000 acres, the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park is one of the last large wilderness areas in the Midwest. The park is home to ancient old-growth forest, waterfalls, and the famous Lake of the Clouds overlook, one of the most photographed spots in Michigan. Hiking trails range from easy walks to multi-day backcountry routes. In winter, the park operates a small ski area and groomed cross-country trails. Whether you’re backpacking, day-hiking, or just driving up to the Lake of the Clouds vista, the Porkies deliver the kind of scenery that reminds you why people fall in love with the Upper Peninsula.
