Marquette Lower Harbor Ore Dock

Highlight • Monument

This is simply a magnificent structure. It is the historic Ore Dock that is in Marquette’s Lower Harbor. It is a relic of Marquette’s iron ore mining and maritime industry used for loading ore onto lake freighters. It is no longer in use today but was once a prominent pillar to the local Marquette economy. The Upper Harbor Ore Dock at Presque Isle is still in use for those interested in seeing such a giant structure in its working environment.

Presque Isle Park

Highlight • Natural

Presque Isle Park is the crowned jewel for exploring nature in Marquette. The park features walking trails and paved roads for walking, driving, and biking. The isle stretches out into Lake Superior via some rocky outcrops and a breakwater, both of which you can walk out onto.

The paved road loop is closed to cars 2 hours each day, that way cyclists can safely have the road to themselves. Check at the visitor's center to get the daily closure hours!

Black Rocks

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Black Rocks at Presque Isle Park not only offer awesome views, but they also offer a great cliff jumping experience. The cliffs are easy to find right along the side of the trail, and they often times draw crowds on weekends in the summer months (usually lots of college students taking in the views of Lake Superior).
