Baraga State Park

Travelers can take an easy break here, right off U.S. 41, at the beach with picnic area and bathhouse on Keweenaw Bay - or on an interesting 3/4 mile trail along old beach ridges and past a beaver pond, away from highway noise. Eagles and herons are sometimes seen looking for fish. The highway separates the beach from the campground.

Opened in 1921, it's the oldest in the U.P. with 56 acres and 117 campsites.

On U.S. 41, 1 1/4 miles south of M-38 in Baraga or 2 1/2 miles west of L'Anse. (906) 353-6558. State park sticker required: $6/day residents, $8/day for others, or $24 and $29/year. Wheelchair access: not ADA accessible, but it works for most. Dogs allowed on six-foot leash.
