While the United States has many beautiful places to visit, the Upper Peninsula is one of the best. Formally called the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, most locals refer to it as the U.P. While Michigan is home to nearly 9 million individuals, the U.P. is home to about 300,000. The largest city is Marquette, and is home to roughly 20,000 people. The Upper Peninsula is also home to the world's largest artificial ski jump. Every year, top competitors travel here to compete on the jump.
Heavily forested, the Upper Peninsula is home to quite a few hunters. Luckily for them, the peninsula is teeming with all kinds of wildlife, including deer and bear. We also have around 400 species of bird. Given that Upper Michigan is home to roughly 4,300 lakes and 12,000 miles of streams, we also have phenomenal fishing. However, the winters are cold and dark, which may limit the fishing opportunities, though many take part in ice fishing. Though the winters are harsh, that doesn't stop the residents from having fun. Many people begin to ski or snowboard as soon as the snow hits the ground!
