As you drive north over Mackinac Bridge, Lake Michigan to your left and Lake Huron to the right, you can’t help but be overcome by the stunning natural beauty that is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. And the best part is that the U.P. offers ton of opportunities for you and your pet to enjoy the great outdoors together.

Whether you prefer staying in a bed and breakfast, hotel, cabin, cottage, campground, motel, or inn you’ll find plenty of pet-friendly lodgings from Mackinac Island to Sault Ste. Marie to Marquette.

Throughout the U.P. there are lots of fun outdoor events you can enjoy with your pet, including the Mackinac Island Lilac Festival in June, where you can watch the parade and the crowning of the Lilac Queen. And if you’re into all things nautical, don’t miss the Nordic Tugboat Rendezvous, sponsored by the Great Lakes Nordic Tug Owners Association. Held in St. Ignace, you and your pet (on leash) can see tugs that have steamed there from all over the Great Lakes.

The U.P. offers so many different ways to enjoy its rugged landscape in every season with your pet, whether you’re interested in hiking, camping, fishing, cross-country skiing, or showshoeing. Be sure to check out our pet-friendly guide to the Upper Peninsula’s Parks and Forests.
