This little lady may be starting a circle tour. She visited Manitou Island off the Keweenaw Peninsula last week and Whitefish Point last night. Our friend Tim Baerwald banded this saw-whet owl on Manitou Island on the night of May 28 and we recaptured her six nights later on the night ofJune 3 at the Point.

The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point isn’t your typical history stop — it’s a deep dive into the mysteries and tragedies of Lake Superior. From the haunting bell of the Edmund Fitzgerald to the restored 1861 lighthouse keeper’s quarters, you’ll step into stories that shaped Michigan’s maritime history.

Plan a few hours to wander the museum, stroll the shoreline, hunt for agates, and watch freighters pass by. History, mystery, and adventure await — all in one epic Upper Peninsula destination. ⚓

At Whitefish Point, you’re standing on one of the most legendary stretches of Lake Superior shoreline in the Great Lakes.

Climb the tower at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum and you’ll see miles of sandy shoreline, historic outbuildings, and open water stretching “as far as the eye can see.” On a clear day? Canada sits just across the bay — only a few miles away.

You’ll almost always spot a freighter cutting across the horizon, tracing the same cold, powerful waters that earned this area the nickname “Shipwreck Coast.”

Massive lake. Maritime history. Endless horizon.

This is Upper Peninsula scenery at its most iconic.
