Taphouse for Black rocks. Two old houses renovated and turned into a tap room. Different beer for everyone's pallette. I happen to like IPAs so the "My Kiss" IPA is probably my favorite. They have a large outdoor seating area and live music and food trucks are the norm.

Sightseeing near Ishpeming
Some of the places I like to go to in town.
Ishpeming's City park! You can swim or fish at Teal lake. Take a hike on many of the marked trails. There is a playground for the kids. Frisbee golf course and horseshoe courts. In the winter it become a paradise for several winter activities. Ice fish on Teal lake. Cross country ski or snow shoe the many miles of groomed trails. Favorite spot for kids to go sledding in the winter.

This trail is fantastic. It is a multi use trail that just happens to run by the Cedar st Guest House. parts are paved and parts are gravel. It connects to the R.A.M.B.A trailhead which is a mountain bike trail system in Ishpeming and the neighboring town in Negaunee. If you have more then one vehicle and one that can haul your bikes you can park in Marquette, drive back to Ishpeming and do the Iron Range Roll...19 miles of mostly decline all the way into Marquette. If you like breweries there are 4 that are pretty much right on the trail. You could ride all the way back but it's up hill all the way.

On Jasper st in Ishpeming right by the intersection with Hill Street you can park on the road and take a short hike up Jaspers Knob (or mountain bike), a large rock outcropping made of Jaspelite (Stripes of Grey Hematite and red Jasper) there is also an overlook of the city of Ishpeming which is gorgeous at sunset. Careful....mind the cliff! Thump your foot on the ground once your at the top (It sounds hollow doesn't it....because it probably is!)

Marquette Food Scene
Some of my favorite places to eat. So many restaurants in Marquette it's sometimes hard to choose and I could go on forever. Washington St and Third St are the places to go for good local food and shopping. I will refrain from mentioning Franchise chains.
Located in the Historic Landmark Inn (I worked there when I was a kid). Probably one of the best burgers I've had..the northland burger. Large variety of bottle and tap beer available. the Hotel has a lounge on the 6th floor called "the Crow's Nest" overlooking Lake Superior.

I recommend hiking around the Isle. Heed the warning signs regarding dangerous cliffs. Almost every year someone gets hurt because they go past the signs. If you time it right maybe 1.5 hours you can get to the other side called "Sunset point" to catch the sun setting past the Lake Superior Horizon. Keep an eye out for wildlife. Many deer roam the area and every so often a rare albino deer is born.

Like Sugarloaf this is a great view of the landscape and Lake Superior. The hike is more difficult and longer with no stairs just hiking. Stay on the trail because it is easy to get turned around if you are not used to the area. I recommend a small daypack with minimal survival gear just in case. If you do get lost and are able to hike north/east you will reach the road which you can follow back to the trailhead. Don't ask how I know that. :)

If you have younger kids this is a great place to go. Many interactive and learning sections. They have a turtle pond and usually some reptiles. If your child is older then 9 or 10 they might not be too impressed. I still think it is a neat place and I had fun playing with my kids there!

Marquette is the bustling hub of the Upper Peninsula. All the major stores are here. There are almost too many restaurants to choose from! Front st, Third st and Washington St are the downtown areas to hit for the local experience. This is where most of the pubs are and the Verabar on Washington st which seems to be the only "nightclub" in town. The city is a walkable city. These three streets are fairly easy to make a loop. The Lower Harbour Park is also just a block away from downtown. This is a college town, home of Northern Michigan University. So when school is in there are many young people around. The city vibe is pretty inclusive. If you've ever been to the UP you know we say hello to everyone!
