  The shore of Lake Superior in Michigan's Upper Peninsula is home to Marquette, Michigan, a city that offers year-round family recreation opportunities. Named by Outdoor Life Magazine in 2010 as 13th on its list of the 200 best towns for outdoorsmen, Marquette combines modern convenience with rustic recreation. Bicycling the trails through the woods of the Upper Peninsula is simultaneously a challenge and a peaceful getaway.
