sugarloaf mountain

Sugarloaf Mountain is less than 10 minutes north of Marquette, right along the Lake Superior shoreline. It's a very easy hike (there's an "easy" route and a "difficult" route, but both are entirely manageable), and the views at the top is amazing. There is a great panorama of the City of Marquette, Lake Superior, and the interior of Marquette County. Great during all seasons and for people of all ages and shouldn't be missed on a trip to the Marquette area.

If you don't mind the CLIMB -( there are stairs) the view from the top is totally amazing! Makes you appreciate just how BIG Lake Superior is!

I think people have been climbing up here for a hundred+ years. Great view of Marquette, the lake shore and the surrounding area. Not a difficult climb, good trails and stairs on the steeps, <30 minutes.

This is a family favorite. There are 2 trails to the top, Recommend that you take one on the way up and the other on the way down. We head out here a few times a summer

Popular location to visit or just hike up and have lunch. I bring my child throughout the summer and occasionally in the winter. Very pretty views.

Sugarloaf is a really nice hike with fantastic views at the top. There is an "easy" and "difficult" route, which is nice to be able to choose. Make sure to take your camera! It's fun to have lunch on the top too.

Title says it all. Not to far out of town and great as a short excursion. I love hiking around the backside , instead of taking the long way around.

Sugarloaf is the perfect way to kill a few hours. Absolutely beautiful hike, and the views you're rewarded with at the top make all those stairs more than worth it! Pretty neat at night too, if you don't mind the dark. Even if you're not in shape (like me) there are pleanty of benches along the way for you to stop and catch your breath!

A 15 minute hike that is worth every breath it takes you to get there! I recommend early morning sunrises over Lake Superior.

Fun little hike up the hill with great views of Lake Superior, Marquette, and the surrounding area. It was just pristine!

The day me and my boyfriend went the weather was absolutely perfect. The hike seemed like it was going to be long and hard and it actually was not bad of a hike up. They have stairs to go up for half the way which makes it pretty easy. Once you get up there, you see all of Lake Superior and Marquette. It's the most beautiful scenes to see. I recommend taking this little hike to see how pretty nature is.

Must-do if you are visiting Marquette, Michigan! The difficult trail only took about 25 minutes to get to the top, and make sure to wear sneakers, because the trail consists of some stairs, but mainly the natural environment. We planned our hike with the sunset, and the view was spectacular.

Sugarloaf was really a great place to visit. I don't think you'll find a better view of Lake Superior anywhere else in the area. Maybe Presque Isle.

Free and located just a few minutes northeast of Marquette. Newly paved parking lot leads you to 2 trails - one easier but longer than the other with stairs. Both lead to the rock covered summit with several platforms with vista to the lake, Presque Isle, and the wooded areas around Marquette. Great for adults and kids.
