When you hear “Michigan’s Upper Peninsula” in a conversation, you might not immediately think of motorcycling. However, the area provides cooler temperatures to beat the summer heat and features a rich variety of natural wonders. In fact, Michigan’s UP has a lot to offer motorcyclists.
Snowriver Mountain Resort in Wakefield, Michigan, is -- of course -- a prime winter recreation destination. However, it also offers some of the best riding opportunities in the Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan tri-state area during the summer and fall.
The resort is central to stunning day rides in all directions. Take the Keweenaw Peninsula MI-26 shoreline highway near Copper Harbor, or the miles of perfect paved sweepers through the Sylvania Wilderness Area. Point your handlebars west and explore the Wisconsin county highways touching the Michigan borderlands to South Boundary Rd in the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness. Epic views of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore from Washburn, Bayfield, and Cornucopia are an easy day ride. (Don't forget the easy and memorable ferry jaunt to Madeline Island.)
The Upper Peninsula has so much to offer in terms of scenic roads and natural wonders. After a day of riding, the low level of artificial lights in the area offers an amazingly bright and beautiful sky for stargazing, and views of the Northern Lights can be seen during select times.
For the event, you'll be able to decide between five street routes or a big-bike-friendly adventure route. This getaway is also the perfect opportunity to organize a visit to Aerostich in Minnesota, owned by passionate motorcyclist Andy Goldfine.
