Lake Gogebic
Tour
You can start this tour from either end of the
lake. As you drive around the lake take the time to
stop in at one of the restaurants for lunch or
dinner as your view is over the lake. Lake Gogebic
is the Upper Peninsula's largest lake. 18 miles
long and 3 miles wide, the driving distance around
the lake is a little over 38 miles. Again take your
time and enjoy the colors.
From Hwy 2 east of Marenisco take Hwy M64 north.
After a few miles you will be on the south end of
Lake Gogebic. About a mile further you will see
hiking signs. This trail leads to a scenic overlook
of the lake. As you continue up the west shore
there are two restaurants; The Gogebic Lodge and
the Fisherman Resort both have great food with
dining rooms that overlook the lake.
The west shore also features the parks. Gogebic
County park is the furthest south, the State Park
is in the middle and Ontonagon County park is on
the north end. M64 will intersect with M28, go east
this will take you into Bergland. Here you will
find gas and supplies. About one mile east of
Bergland is East Shore Road, turn right and follow
the road until it comes to M64 on the south end of
the lake. Turn left and you will return to Hwy 2.
